How do I install Google Device Policy on my iPhone?
Here's a good place to know what the device policy is because you need to be aware of this before you decide to go with the Google Play Store.
2) Click the download button. Note: it may ask for your phone passkey if you are not the registered owner of the phone. I just ignored it. The App should be downloaded on your phone, just let the installation process complete.
3) Once the installation is complete and successful, tap on Okay to confirm that you accept the Google terms. 4) In the next step, tap on the link Allow. From here you can allow google apps to access your location.
5) You will be asked if you want to continue, tap on Allow. Now tap on Continue.
The device policy is now installed and will allow you to access Google Play services on the iOS platform. Let's hope that the rest of the Android version will also be done soon!

Share with friends: I was on the verge of getting the plus but then saw that you don't need it to see photos uploaded by contacts and their tags. Plus it's a paid service (it says so when you are in the settings menu of the apps).99 a year. Im not sure if thats a deal breaker or not, I used the android apk version of it and it didnt seem like a bargain.
How do I fix Google Device Policy error?
What are the steps for fixing "Google Device Policy Error"?
I've been getting this error for over a year now. I have a Google Pixel running Android 8.1 and a Samsung Galaxy S7 running Android 8.0.
I have checked the permissions on my phone and they seem to be correct. It doesn't say that I'm not allowed to access my device, but I can't get into the settings to change it.
The error message is: "Google Policy has detected that this device has a custom firmware or custom recovery." I have tried to delete the custom recovery with no luck, but it doesn't matter if I do. I just want to fix this so I can use my phone again.
Hi David! Great to hear that you got your phone back. You can check that your phone has been correctly restored from factory reset by confirming the following: 1) If you have an external SD card, you should find an archive file named factoryrestore.img in your SD card.
2) If you have the SIM card from your old phone, you should find an archive file named factoryrestore.ima in your SIM card.
If both files are found, you have been successfully restored. If only one of them is found, you might have to restore your phone again, and try the above steps once more. Best. Re: ? Thanks for replying. Yes, I tried factory resetting my phone, and I just tried to install an APK file on my phone, and it said it's not allowed. There was no "factoryrestore.ima" file in my SIM card, so I'm not sure what to do next.
Hi David. You can use a recovery tool like Titanium Backup to check whether you have the correct recovery image and which recovery you are using. You can choose "Restore All Settings" from the menu of the app and it will display all the options you have on your device. You can also go to Settings > About > Software info and see if you have any software update available, which would indicate that you have a custom recovery.
Why won't my Google Device Policy sync?
We have a policy in place that makes it very difficult to root your device, but we still want you to have access to Google Play and some of the other Google services on your device.
You can't use our devices if you root them, so the Device Policy blocks certain steps that would allow you to root your device. This is to protect you, our users. But we understand that sometimes this is frustrating. So if you don't want to be blocked, we'll need your help to make this work.
You can set up a policy that allows you to use Google Play and other Google services while still protecting your device, but you need to follow the steps below. If you need to do some research before following these steps, you can visit the documentation page. Steps to follow: Sign in to the Google Device Policy Dashboard at gdpp.google.com
Log in to your Google Account. Select Device Policy on the left navigation bar. Click Add new policy. Follow the steps below. Step 1: Set up your account. If you haven't yet, sign into your Google Account. This will be the account that you use to sign in to the Google Device Policy Dashboard. If you're having trouble signing in, visit the support page for more information.
Step 2: Select an administrator. Click Admin on the left navigation bar. Step 3: Add your device. Select the device you want to set up your policy for, and then click Add device. Step 4: Confirm your device. Select the device you just added. Click Add device. Step 5: Choose the policy you want to add. The policy you choose will depend on the type of device you're setting up. Here are the options you can choose from: Root Access: Allows you to install apps that modify the system files on your device. If you select this option, you can choose from one of two sub-policies: Root Access with Google Play: Allows you to install apps that modify the system files on your device and access Google Play Services. Root Access with other apps: Allows you to install apps that modify the system files on your device and access other apps.
What does Google Device Policy give access to iPhone?
A few days ago I was looking at my phone for some notifications in Hangouts.
I saw something that I couldn't believe. It said that Google Device Policy had granted the iPhone 5s permission to access data on the device. What does that mean? I did my own research and I was able to find out what the real impact of that is and here's what I found out.
Before the iPhone 5s Apple did it's best to educate consumers of their new operating system. "Hey, Apple said you can jailbreak your new iPhone 5s. Don't do it!" Apple clearly didn't succeed because many people jailbroken their iPhones before it was released and in fact, a lot of people still jailbreak their iPhones to this day. Apple had to step it up in order to combat those who wanted to get their hands on a new iPhone but were still locked into using outdated software.
So what happened next? Google, wanting to make it simple for users to sync their data with Google Drive and access it from anywhere. They figured if all they needed to be granted was the ability to send/receive email from their Google account it'd allow consumers to get the most out of their phones they possibly could. Well now Android users are starting to realize they are no longer secure in Google's grasp because Google is using devices like the iPhone to grant this permission.
Let's have a look at Google's explanation for why they want to do this. They say that the iPhone supports Exchange ActiveSync which uses the MMS Protocol and as an iPhone user you can receive email from outside servers. The reason they list for wanting the permissions is to give them access to use Google Messaging.
They also have a few other things listed as reasons for requesting these permissions. They just need the ability to allow email sending and receiving between Gmail accounts, manage contacts in Gmail and create calendar events. But this will enable a few more actions which is what I'd like to point out.
The first of these is allowing people to change which Google voice message to use. They mention that the MMS Protocol would "allow access to personal phone information" with that, they likely means text messages. While I don't think many users are actively using the MMS Protocol anymore with their iOS devices, Google could very well have it enabled and using it is easy enough. Just tap the contact button and select SMS and MMS from the list that comes up.
