Solution

Configure the Google Android 13 device to disable Bluetooth or if the AO has approved the use of Bluetooth (for example, for car hands-free use), train the user to connect to only authorized Bluetooth devices using only HSP, HFP, or SPP Bluetooth capable devices (UBE).

To disable Bluetooth use the following procedure:

On the EMM Console:

1. Open 'User restrictions' section.
2. Toggle 'Disallow Bluetooth' to 'ON'.
