What’s new in Android Enterprise: Android 14

To strengthen device security, employees are encouraged to set a 6-digit PIN as the default length for the device unlock pin.

Android 13 added support for Ultra-wideband (UWB). To stay compliant with NIAP requirements, IT admins can now enable or disable UWB on Android 14. Additionally, audit events for enable and disable actions are recorded in the SecurityLog.

Android 14 brings support for multiple password managers to the Android Credential Manager. To enhance the security of work credentials and passwords, IT admins can enforce a default credential manager in work profile and fully managed devices. This ensures that employees can only store work credentials and passwords in an approved credential manager.

IT admins can protect managed devices from 2G traffic interception, person-in-the-middle attacks, and other 2G-based threats by disabling 2G connectivity for managed devices at the modem level for null-ciphered connections.

Take screenshots without the risk of leakage outside the Work Profile. Screenshots from work apps and websites are automatically saved to the Work Profile.

Through an improved cross-profile experience, Android 14 offers a better employee experience and improves employee efficiency.

• Cross-profile app link experience: Quickly open links in relevant apps on respective profiles or in the browser. This reduces the number of clicks required and it is useful when employees want to open work-related app links in the personal profile or remain in the Work Profile.
• Cross-profile messaging experience: Enable employees to view and message work contacts from personal messaging apps.

Search for Work Profile settings in the main device settings. This allows employees to find Work Profile apps and settings in the device more easily.

Quickly switch between the personal and Work Profile of a Google app. Easily switch between the personal and Work Profile in Google apps by swiping sideways on the account's profile picture.

Protect work data security and employee privacy by allowing employees to share only the relevant apps when sharing their screen. Employees can choose to present a single app rather than the entire screen to reduce the chance of data leakage.

Note: This feature will be available in 2024.

Android 14 makes it easier for employees to work from their device by having new and improved inclusive accessibility features such as:

• Improved magnification
• Nonlinear font size scaling
• Font size quick setting tile
• Hearing aids improvements
• Flash notifications
