Blocking Apps...

[kct1975]

Ok...so the company I work for switched to BYOD last year. They, however, are still supporting a single Blackberry used by multiple employees at a security desk.

The company is considering shutting down the BES server soon and the Blackberry will need to be replaced with either an Android phone or an iPhone.

So if the Blackberry is replaced with an Android phone...is there any way to block the download of apps on an Android phone.

The company does not want the guards buying apps or being distracted playing games.

Please let me know if there is a way to block the download of app either through the device or though the carrier.

Thanks.

It can be achieved with a firewall. I like the one called DroidWall. You could use Hide It Pro to hide the firewall app.

You can do this on your android phone by following these steps:

1) Menu > Settings
2) Select the 'Content Filtering' option.
3) Below the content filtering option you will find an option called 'Set Pin' option.
4) Tap on it and choose your pin.
5) Click on 'Ok'.
6) Re-enter the choosen pin.

That's it. When anybody attempts to install an app it will prompts to enter the pin.
