Hey everyone! So, I have a situation I'm curious about. My company uses Mobile Device Management (MDM) on our iPhones, which can remove the passcode. If I enable Face ID for WhatsApp, what happens if the company takes the phone and removes the passcode through MDM? Will WhatsApp still require Face ID to unlock, or will it just open? I've tested how it works on my personal phone, where I set Face ID for a different app and it opened right up after resetting everything. But I'm wondering if WhatsApp's Face ID setting behaves differently. Plus, if WhatsApp is set up to require Face ID and I remove my passcode, could the company just use their Face ID to get in? I'm not really sure and would love to hear from anyone who knows more about MDM and its quirks!

To answer your question about supervised phones, they can access a lot more control. They can see installed apps, potentially track web traffic, and manage other settings. It really limits your personal privacy, so if it says 'supervised', I'd skip using it for anything personal. Better safe than sorry!
When the MDM removes the iPhone passcode, it typically also disables the authentication methods like Face ID for apps, but it can vary by app. Banking apps might push for a password again, while WhatsApp could just unlock without issues. Just remember, if your phone is marked as supervised, that's not the best for personal use. They can really see what you're doing in that case, so it's best to keep personal stuff off that phone.
