      A lot of government jobs provide you with a phone that is provisioned for closed government networks.

      The White House spp is likely being used to spy on those networks.

      This. Too many people view work devices as “Free [ipad, laptop], bro!” and use it for all sorts of personal stuff.

      It’s not yours. The company can take it at any time, or if remotely managed, view device contents at any time. If any of that material is against company policy or illegal, you’re probably gonna be disciplined or fired.

      For most it’s probably NBD. Corporate won’t care if you’re just some mid-level lackey watching Netflix on the company device.

      It’s worse than that. This app tracks your location through a third party non-government company. If you have a location sensitive government job like being a soldier near the middle east this app is a national security issue.
