If you work for a company that deals with information technology or any other form of communication technology, it is easy to see why the company may want to track your iPhone.
This is particularly true if the iPhone is company-provided or it is part of the company's Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy. Your company is obligated to tell you if they are tracking you.
But if you think that they are and they haven't shared their intentions with you, the information contained in this article will help you figure out if your company is tracking your iPhone.
Yes, it is possible for your company to track your iPhone using Mobile Device Management (MDM).
Your iOS device has a built-in framework known as MDM that your company can use to wirelessly configure devices by sending profiles and commands to the device.
Among other things, MDM can be used to update the software and devices settings, monitor the device's compliance with organizational policies, and even remotely wipe or lock the device.
Users can choose to enroll the devices in MDM or the company can enroll the device in MDM automatically using Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager.
