AT&T Shift App Under Review by French Antitrust Commission
Apple’s new ATT shift app is facing some regulatory scrutiny. The French regulator refused to block its introduction, but said it would investigate if the app was abusive. The regulator also wanted to know how the ATT app compares with third-party developers. In this article, we’ll look at how the ATT shift app compares to third-party apps and whether it should be blocked.
Toggle 2.0
The AT&T shift toggle 2.0 lets users download applications only from approved sources. Previously, administrators had to push applications to devices, but this new version allows IT administrators to create custom locations and enable or disable applications on their own. This new version also allows IT to wipe data off lost or stolen devices. It will be available soon for iOS and other mobile operating systems.
The company is promoting Toggle as a solution for BYOD. This feature allows users to separate personal and business data. When in work mode, it pulls data from the business wireless plan, and when in personal mode, the device switches to a personal plan. AT&T continues to support Toggle 1.0 and will provide customer support for it.
Shift Messenger
Shift Messenger gives managers real-time information on employees’ work schedules. The app also gives managers warnings if employees don’t show up for work. Some managers noted a decrease in no-shows. Shift Messenger also gives managers a more detailed view of associate performance, enabling them to intervene when necessary.
The shift-oriented messaging app works with all major messenger platforms, including Facebook Messenger. The app offers text, audio, and video messaging. Shift also supports messaging with multiple accounts. The company’s goal is to help shift workers improve their work lives by building communications tools to help solve work problems and connect them with workplace communities.

ATT policy to allow third parties to collect reams of personal data
The EU’s antitrust division has been examining Apple’s ATT policy, but has so far not taken any action. If the EU Commission does decide to take action, it may have to do so through national competition regulators. It is unclear whether the changes Apple is considering will affect consumers.
