How These Policies Work

Swif.ai integrates directly with the Google Android Management API to apply and enforce these configurations consistently across all managed devices.

  • Policies are automatically pushed during device enrollment or policy update.

  • Non-compliant devices trigger alerts in the Swif dashboard.

  • Administrators can modify, group, or remove policies directly from the Android Policy Management section in the console.


Requirements

  • Devices enrolled via Android Enterprise (Device Owner or Work Profile mode).

  • Minimum OS version: Android 9 (Pie) or newer.

  • Active internet connection for policy synchronization.


Coming Soon

Swif.ai is continuously enhancing Android policy coverage. Future additions may include:

  • Network Restrictions Policy – Control DNS, proxy, and mobile data usage.

  • App Configuration Policy – Manage app permissions and runtime settings.

  • Device Restriction Policy – Disable hardware components like camera or NFC.
