Summary:
Microsoft Intune will end support for Android device administrator on devices with Google Mobile Services (GMS) after December 31, 2024. Users should stop enrolling devices with this method and migrate to alternative management methods as outlined in the provided blog.
Details:
As mentioned in MC726113/MC674247/MC902778, Google has deprecated Android device administrator management, continues to remove management capabilities, and no longer provides fixes or improvements. Due to these changes, Intune will be ending support for Android device administrator management on devices with access to Google Mobile Services (GMS) beginning December 31, 2024. Until that time, we will support device administrator management on devices running Android 14 and earlier. For more details, read the blog: https://aka.ms/Intune-Android-DA-blog.
