Add business apps from the Play Store
This article provides an overview of the menu item Business Apps in the Cortado app for Android.

Add business apps from the Play Store
In the Cortado app, tap on the menu item Business Apps (illus. above) and you will be redirected to the Play Store. Alternatively, you can also open the Play Store for your work profile (left illus.) or your fully managed device (right illus.) directly via the app icon.
Here you will find apps that your administrator has made available for your work profile or for your fully managed device.
Work apps that are already on your device were pushed to the device directly from your company. If you uninstall these apps, they will be pushed to your device again.
You will also find apps here that your administrator has made available to you for optional use. You can install these here and also uninstall them if necessary.
You can also perform app updates in your business Play Store.
Add own (self-hosted) apps
Once your administrator has assigned you one of the company’s in-house (self-hosted) apps for the first time, the app will be downloaded. On fully managed company devices (COBO), the app is installed automatically (see below).
If you are using a device with a work profile (BYOD or COPE), automatic installation of the app is not possible because the option Install unknown apps is deactivated by default. but not yet installed. The app cannot be installed automatically because the option Install unknown apps is deactivated by default. The Cortado app is blocked with a corresponding notification (left illus.).
