Microsoft requires employees in China to use iPhone when working? Official response: Want to provide employees with access to necessary applications

According to news on July 9, Microsoft has officially responded to the issue of "Microsoft prohibits Chinese employees from using Android phones and must use iPhones for work."

A Microsoft spokesperson said, “Microsoft Authenticator and Identity Pass apps are available on the Apple Store and Google Play Store. We want to provide employees with access to these necessary apps, and since Google mobile services are unavailable in China, we will provide Employees are provided with the choice of iOS devices.”

According to China Business News, some Microsoft employees also said that many employees have received iOS devices from the company recently, but only to those who do not have iPhones.

Yesterday, Bloomberg reported that Microsoft will "soon" require its Chinese employees to only use Apple devices to verify their identities when using work computers or mobile phones. Starting in September this year, they will only be able to use iPhones for work, effectively excluding Android devices from the workplace. The measure is part of Microsoft's global "Secure Future Initiative" and will affect hundreds of employees in mainland China, aiming to ensure that all employees use applications such as Microsoft Authenticator and Identity Pass.
