Microsoft in China: Microsoft has banned the use of Android phones in China. Now Microsoft employers will not be able to use Android devices in their offices in China.
No Android Gadgets In Office: The world’s largest tech giant company Microsoft has forbidden its employees in China from using Android phones. The whole world is shocked after this announcement of the company. According to a Bloomberg report, Microsoft has taken this decision to avoid problems like cyber security and data breach.
Nowadays, many cases of data leak keep coming up all over the world. The reason behind this tough and big decision of Microsoft is believed to be the problem of data leak. Not only this, according to reports, the company can take even more stringent steps regarding cyber security in its office in China. The company has instructed its employers to use Apple gadgets instead of Android devices.
Why did Microsoft take this decision
According to reports, Google Mobile Services (GMS) is required to manage security levels like Authenticator and Identity Pass in Microsoft. However, many of Google’s services including Play Store do not work in China.
You can guess this from the fact that Apple has iOS store in China, but Google Play Store is not available. Instead, local smartphone brands like Huawei and Xiaomi have made their platforms available to the people. Experts believe that Android devices are easy to hack. On top of that, the absence of Google Play in China is increasing Microsoft’s tension.
Will use iPhone, not Android
According to the company, shutting down Android phones comes under its Secure Future Initiative. After this, employees in Microsoft will use iPhone instead of Android for office work. According to the information, the company will ban access to devices running on Android OS in China’s office campus from September.
To make this decision easier, the company is giving iPhone 15 devices to the employees. It has also been told in the report that recently there were cyber attacks on US government agencies. Russia was said to be behind these attacks. These security steps are being taken to prevent any such cyber attack.
