In the world of mobile device management (MDM), learning to prevent factory resetting Android devices is critical. A factory reset wipes a device clean, potentially leading to data loss, security breaches, and disruptions to business operations. NinjaOne’s MDM software provides robust features to safeguard against factory resets, empowering IT administrators to maintain control over their Android fleet.
