I’m not sure about an Android internal app, all employees are given brand new iPhone x’s.

When I worked there we all had to use the internal fb and IG apps and do all communication through them.

Switching to android would mean a huge IT change and mean replacing every employees phone.

Huh? Employees are given a choice of iPhone or Android; the full infrastructure stack already exists for both, internal apps are built and deployed for both. I'm pretty sure that IT could switch the whole company to Android overnight if they had the hardware in stock...

Guess I was misktaken. I had the choice between a thinkpad and MacBook and given an iPhone, didn’t realize we could get an android or just didn’t pay attention...
