iOS and Android Version in Comparison

Secure Contacts App (SCA) delivers a unified experience across iOS and Android platforms. Both versions integrate seamlessly with Microsoft Intune, Azure Active Directory (AAD), and Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL), providing Mobile Application Management (MAM) capabilities and ensuring enterprise-grade security and compliance.

Platform-Specific Differences

• Caller Identification:

  • iOS: Uses Call Directory Extension (CDE) for incoming call identification without syncing with the device’s local contacts.

  • Android: Uses a secure contact provider for native caller identification, also without syncing with the device’s local contacts.

• Enrollment Types:

  • iOS: Supports BYOD and COPE scenarios with Intune App Protection Policies and Conditional Access.

  • Android: Supports BYOD, COPE, and Android Enterprise Work Profile, all with Intune App Protection Policies and Conditional Access.

• Optional Features:

  • iOS: Optional integration with the Contact Provider Extension (CPE) enables contacts in Siri, CarPlay, and other native apps.

  • Android: Native contacts integration and Android Auto support are available when using Android Enterprise Work Profile.

Both platforms share core functionalities, but these platform-specific differences ensure SCA leverages each OS’s unique capabilities to provide an optimized user experience.
