Device Encryption

Hi everyone,

I am asking myself, if Android devices (ZEBRA, Android 6+) are encrypted by default? The devices are secured by a password.

If the devices are enrypted: Why is it possible to perform remote control via MobiControl? Can anyone explain it to me? :)

Thank you very much!

Having encryption and remote-control support are not mutually exclusive.

Once a device has been properly booted up with the  password input, all installed app including MobiControl device agent can run without problem.  A remote-control session can of course be started if it is supported by the agent/firmware and allowed for the admnistrator based on his/her permission on the web-console.
