Factory reset protection for 

Android Enterprise

 devices

: You can set up a Factory reset protection profile for your organization’s 

Android Enterprise

 devices that have been activated using the Work space only activation type. This profile allows you to specify a user account that can be used to unlock a device after it has been reset to factory settings, or remove the need to sign in after the device has been reset to factory settings. 

Update period for apps that are running in the foreground

: On devices that are activated with 

Android Enterprise

, you can set an update period for apps that are running in the foreground because by default, when an 

Android

 app is running in the foreground, 

Google Play

 cannot update it. You can also control how 

Google Play

 applies the changes to the device such as the user can allow the change, or the change occurs only when the device is connected to a 

Wi-Fi

 network.

Fingerprint authentication

: You can now open the 

BlackBerry UEM Client

 and configure fingerprint authentication after 

BlackBerry Dynamics

 app activation is complete.

TLS 1.2

: All SSL connections between 

BlackBerry UEM

 and 

BlackBerry UEM Cloud

 and other internal and external systems now use TLS 1.2.

Support for deploying B2B apps licensed with your 

Apple

 VPP account:

 If you have obtained B2B apps using your 

Apple

 VPP account and added your VPP account to 

BlackBerry UEM

, you can now assign those apps to users and groups in 

BlackBerry UEM

.
