Full-Spectrum Device Security, Now on Android
Senturo launched Android support on July 8, 2025, completing cross-platform coverage across Android, Chrome OS, iOS, macOS, and Windows. IT teams can now monitor and secure all five platform types from a single dashboard.
For organizations with Android-heavy environments, this expansion ensures complete control over your mobile device fleet, wherever work happens.
Key Takeaways
- Senturo now supports Android devices, completing coverage across Android, Chrome OS, iOS, macOS, and Windows from a single dashboard.
- The Android app delivers full feature parity with iOS: real-time tracking, geofencing, IP fencing, broadcast messaging, and automated security actions.
- Available now on the Senturo platform and the Google Play Store.
Feature Overview: Android App with Full iOS Parity
The Android app delivers the same security and tracking capabilities as the iOS experience:
- Real-time location tracking with high-frequency updates, giving IT teams accurate last-known location and live tracking in Missing Mode.
- Geofencing and IP fencing rules to automate security workflows when devices cross defined boundaries or connect from unauthorized networks.
- Cross-platform broadcast messaging to send alerts to Android devices alongside the rest of the fleet.
- Automated security actions including remote lock.
- Network awareness to enforce corporate VPN usage and detect differences between physical geolocation and IP addresses.
Built to work seamlessly with MDMs like Microsoft Intune and Meraki Systems Manager, our Android app enhances your current infrastructure. Senturo amplifies MDM capabilities by enabling context-aware automations and deeper visibility across devices.
Use Cases: Driving Value Across Commercial Sectors
Industries that rely heavily on Android will benefit significantly from this release, including:
- Healthcare: Protect PHI with geo-compliance policies that ensure devices stay within designated clinical facilities. HIPAA device control requirements apply to Android devices the same as any other platform.
- Retail: Maintain operational oversight of POS and inventory devices across locations. Geofencing alerts trigger automatically if a device leaves a store perimeter.
- Field Services: Track and manage rugged tablets and phones used by mobile workforces in remote areas. IP fencing detects when devices connect from unauthorized networks outside approved job sites.
- Regulated Industries: Enforce IP and geo-fencing rules for compliance with ISO 27001, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ITAR.
Why It Matters
Many MDM solutions offer strong policy control but lack granular geolocation visibility or cross-platform coordination. A missing Android device in an Intune-managed fleet has the same hidden costs as a missing Windows laptop: IT labor, compliance exposure, data risk, and hardware replacement. Senturo bridges this gap by:
- Offering a single dashboard for real-time tracking across all OS types
- Supporting custom automation rules based on physical and network location
- Complementing MDMs with actionable location intelligence and flexible, event-driven security controls

- No MDM: install the Senturo app directly from the Google Play Store and enroll devices manually via the Senturo dashboard.
