Check

Review the managed Google Android 14 configuration settings to confirm that no third-party keyboards are enabled (work profile only).

This procedure is performed on the EMM console.

On the EMM console:

1. Open "Input methods". 2. Tap "Set input methods". 3. Verify only the approved keyboards are selected.

If unapproved third-party keyboards are allowed in the work profile, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the Google Android 14 device to disallow the use of third-party keyboards (work profile only).

On the EMM console:

1. Open "Input methods". 2. Tap "Set input methods". 3. Select only the approved keyboards.

Additionally, admins can configure application allowlists for Google Play so no third-party keyboards are available for user installation.
