What enterprise features are new in Android 15?

Android 15 introduced several enterprise-relevant features and behaviour changes that impact device management.

• Content protection policy - a new AMAPI policy enables enhanced on-device scanning for apps that attempt social engineering tactics, such as fake system dialogs or overlay attacks. This leverages Play Protect's real-time behavioural analysis and is available on fully managed and dedicated devices. See What is the content protection policy in AMAPI?
• Enterprise Factory Reset Protection (EFRP) always enforced - on company-owned devices, EFRP is now enforced after a hard factory reset regardless of whether OEM unlocking was toggled on. Previously, enabling OEM unlocking could bypass EFRP
• Private Space - a new isolated profile area for personal apps, separate from the work profile. On company-owned devices, admins can disable Private Space via policy. See the Private Space FAQ section for details

• Foreground service restrictions - certain foreground service types (camera, MediaProjection, data sync) can no longer be started from BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast receivers. This breaks common patterns used by kiosk management and fleet monitoring agents that relied on starting services at boot
• PendingIntent cancellation on stopped state - PendingIntents registered by an app are now wiped when the app enters the "stopped" state. This affects watchdog and self-healing flows in fleet management agents that relied on persistent alarms
• Edge-to-edge display enforcement - apps targeting API 35 are forced into edge-to-edge rendering, which can break kiosk app layouts that assumed fixed system bar dimensions. See Why is my kiosk app UI broken after updating to Android 15?.

• Initial support for deploying and managing eSIM profiles on company-owned devices, including the ability to push full and partial eSIM configurations and prevent their removal
