What is Android Work Profile?
Android Work Profile (AWP) is the Android Enterprise feature that keeps your phone’s personal information private and separate from work while offering secure access to your work resources—all on one device. With Google’s movement from legacy Device Admin deployment to Android Enterprise, admins will have restricted access to user’s devices.

How can I get AWP for my Android device?

How to get Microsoft To Do on AWP?

If Microsoft To Do is made available on AWP by your organization, you can download it from the AWP managed Play Store and sign in with your work account. Once you do, you’ll be able to switch between your personal and work accounts by tapping your avatar and selecting which version of To Do you’d like to view. If To Do is not available on your AWP, please contact your IT admin for more details.

How does AWP affect Microsoft To Do?

Your apps and data will be separated into personal and work profiles, which you can switch between with just a tap. On some devices, your personal and work profiles will be shown together, but your work apps will have a briefcase icon in the bottom-right corner.

Since the work profile keeps your personal and work information separately, you’ll no longer see a blended view of work and personal To Do notifications in your notification panel.
