I still don’t know how as it’s a personal cell phone. It’s my own line. The only thing that makes sense is someone has access to my phone/account. I talked to a tech guy. He told me I have a password problem.. however that doesn’t explain half the stuff that I have screenshots and short videos of.. (when I say videos, I mean, screen videos).
If your employer put it there it must be a condition of employment to use the company data or apps.
Accept it, talk to IT admin to have it removed, or get another job, are the three options.

The simple answer to that is yes (with quite a few qualifiers). But I suspect that isn’t really what you want to know. What’s your real question?
