Install Work-Managed Applications on a Mobile Device

Once you have enrolled in Venn on your Android or Apple device, you will need to download any work apps that you will need to use on mobile such as email or instant messaging apps.

Even if you already have an app installed on your device that you plan to use for work, you need to download a work-managed version from the Workplace app following the steps below.

Install Work Apps on Your Apple Device

Due to Apple's focus on security and maintaining app integrity, iOS does not allow you to install personal and work-managed versions of the same application. For any app you plan to use on your Apple device, you must only have it downloaded as a personal app (installed from the App Store) or work-managed app (installed from Workplace). If you already have a work app downloaded on your phone, you must delete it before reinstalling it through Workplace.

To install your work apps on your Apple device:

  1. Tap to open the Workplace app.
