I'm not sure why government employees can even use their work phones to install personal applications. Isn't the whole point of a work phone using it for work?
I imagine that a bunch of these employees are just not buying a personal device and using their work provided ones as their main device (I see the same in the corporate world as well.)
Any work-issued device should be used for just work, right? Surely that's common sense?
