Be smart folks! Everyone who allowed this cheap company to convince you to use your personal phone as a company phone has access to all of your personal information and can track down everything you post from your personal phone. Get their spyware off of your phone.

@3ped, agree with you! We were warned by our leadership about the deal with the phone once you agree to have Walmart business put on it. Many of us opted against using our phones for company business as a result. I didn't want to because you have to agree that they have the right to take your phone away and wipe it if they feel it's necessary.
I have been told by someone who works in the data security area not to do anything personal on your byod. I tend to believe them.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of what is possible (but will completely depend on the employer, agreement, and software):
Locking, disabling and data wiping – the employer may have retained the right to remotely lock or disable the employee’s personal device or delete any and all data contained on the phone.
Access to the device
Access to phone records or contacts
Access to social media or other account username and passwords
Monitor GPS and location information
View Web browsing history
View pictures, video, or other media
View personal emails
View chat and messaging histories
Limit the use of cloud services
This is ridiculous, BYOD is common across large enterprises and if you are worried about your company looking at your data you might need to get a new fitting for your aluminum foil hat. Fortune one vs your info on your phone, laughable.
why would you use your company phone for personal use? duh.
Exactly why I have an old phone without a SIM card. Wifi only as my BYOD. Not one item of anything used for personal use.
But can not be used legally..
