Microsoft’s text, safely structured

Updated June 21, 2024: We have updated the timing below. Thank you for your patience.

Google has deprecated Android device administrator management, continues to remove management capabilities, and no longer provides fixes or improvements. Due to these changes, Intune will be ending support for Android device administrator management on devices with access to Google Mobile Services (GMS) beginning Decenber 31, 2024. Until that time, we will support device administrator management on devices running Android 14 and earlier. For more details, read the blog: https://aka.ms/Intune-Android-DA-blog.

How this will affect your organization

After Intune ends support for Android device administrator, devices with access to GMS will be impacted in the following ways:

  1. Users will not be able to enroll devices with Android device administrator.
  2. Intune will not make changes or updates to Android device administrator management, such as bug fixes, security fixes, or fixes to address changes in new Android versions.
  3. Intune technical support will no longer support these devices.

What you need to do to prepare

Stop enrolling devices into Android device administrator and migrate impacted devices to other management methods. You can check your Intune reporting to see which devices or users may be affected. Go to Devices > All devices and filter the OS column to Android (device administrator) to see the list of devices.
