In Android Enterprise Work Profile mode, the Device Owner mode is not available. Device Owner mode is only available in Android Enterprise Fully Managed mode, which allows IT admins to have complete control over the device, including enabling contact sharing.
In Android Enterprise Work Profile mode, the work profile is a separate container on the device, and the device owner has limited control over the work profile. This is done to ensure that personal data is kept separate from work data.
However, there are still ways to enable contact sharing in the work profile. Here are some possible solutions:
-
Use a third-party app: There are several third-party contact apps available on the Google Play Store that support contact sharing. You can install one of these apps in the work profile to enable contact sharing.
-
Use a cloud service: If your organization uses a cloud service such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, you can sync contacts from the work profile to the cloud service. This will enable users to access their work contacts on other devices that are connected to the same cloud service.
-
Use a custom app: If your organization has the resources, you can develop a custom app that enables contact sharing in the work profile. This would require programming expertise and a developer account on the Google Play Store.
Note that enabling contact sharing in the work profile may introduce security risks, and you should consult with your IT department before implementing any solution.
