It looks like MS Teams will never be getting installed on my phone.

I don’t even allow location sharing with my own family on and ongoing basis.

Some people don't have a choice. Of course they could choose to lose their job over it, but for some that is not an option.

I also totally don't get why you would want to share your location, even with family. I don't want to know where they are either.

After they killed Skype, I tried to install the mobile Teams app. It wouldn't sync properly with the desktop app, so deleted it and forgot it existed. So glad it wouldn't work!

I installed it on my iPhone but didn't allow Bluetooth access or location access. I imagine it can't really do much with how iOS is. I also don't take my work phone with me if I go outside, so Wi-Fi tracking would be fairly useless anyway.

  • Guess it's true unless you have a company issued phone that is managed. But then maybe it's less shocking as long as you are allowed to totally turn it off outside work hours.
