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 Android Device
To install work apps on your Android device:
- Swipe up from the bottom of your screen, tap the Work tab, and tap to open Workplace.
- Tap the Apps tab.
- Scroll to locate the application you would like to install.
- Tap the application name.
- If an application shares a native app and a website, you may see a modal asking you to select an option. Tap Mobile application.
- You will be redirected to the Google Play Store in the Work Profile. Tap Install to download and install the desired application.
The app will be installed and added to your Work Profile. Work apps are marked with a briefcase. To access work apps, swipe up from the bottom of your screen, tap the Work tab, and tap to open the app.
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:
- Tap to open the Workplace app.
- Tap the Apps tab.
- Scroll to locate the application you would like to install.
- Tap the application name.
- If an application shares a native app and a website, you may see a modal asking you to select an option. Tap Mobile application.
- Tap Install when asked if you would like to request that the app be installed.
- Tap Install again when you are prompted to download the app.
The app will be added to your home screen.
You may want to organize your work apps in a folder to make it easy to locate them on your home screen.
