Putting personal information on a work phone is a risky behavior. Most company phones are setup to give the company control over and access to everything on the phone.

Personally, I would never use a company phone for anything that isnโ€™t for work.

Depends on what kind of company you work at. Most companies I know would just be: you need a phone, go buy one and give us a receipt.

Not all companies are big tech, and most companies likely can not afford the added cost of spying on employees.

Good thing is that I went to the store and bought it myself with the company card. My phone has never been in their possession nor are they monitoring what I do on it or on my pc (because same thing there)
