Configuring Access Point Names for 
Android
 devices

An APN specifies the information a mobile device needs to connect to a carrier's network. You can use one or more Access Point Name profiles to send APNs for carriers to your users' 
Android
 devices. Access Point Name profiles are supported by 
Android
 9.0 and later devices with 
Work space only
 and 
Work and personal - full control
 activations.
Devices usually have APNs preset for common carriers. Users can also add new APNs to a device. If you want to force a device to use an APN sent to it by an Access Point Name profile, select the "Force device to use Access Point Name profile settings" IT policy rule in the 
Android
 Global (all 
Android
 devices) IT policy rules.
