Message ID: MC1066157
Android devices with Microsoft Teams will be commencing auto updates for firmware in order to migrate to Microsoft Intune Android Open Source Project (AOSP) device management.
Unlike other firmware updates, these firmware updates cannot be paused.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High): We will begin rolling out mid-May 2025 and expect to complete by late August 2025.
[How this will affect your organization:]
Devices will receive the firmware auto updates following the phases set in Teams admin center:
- Validation: 0-15 days
- General: 16-45 days (default)
- Final: 45-60 days
[What you need to do to prepare:]
Please verify that all prerequisites for AOSP device management migration are completed for your organization to ensure a smooth process. Your devices may sign out during migration if the prerequisites are not carried out properly.
Please see the blog for further details and the full schedule of auto updates for your devices: Moving Teams Android Devices to AOSP Device Management.
There will be no exceptions to delay the auto updates further.

The upcoming auto updates for Microsoft Teams on Android devices as they transition to the AOSP device management system are set to make quite a splash in the world of device management. For admins, this means a shift towards a more streamlined approach to managing firmware updates, which can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, the inability to pause these updates encourages a proactive stance in keeping devices up to date. On the other hand, it could lead to some frantic moments if an update introduces unexpected changes right before a big meeting!
From the user perspective, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. While users will benefit from the latest features and security improvements, they might find themselves signed out during the migration if their organization hasn’t prepped adequately. So, a little pre-planning is essential to avoid those awkward “Your device has been signed out” notifications during important calls.
Overall, the impact of these changes will likely be significant. With the rollout scheduled to begin in mid-May 2025, it’s crucial for organizations to be proactive rather than reactive. This transition is not just a technical upgrade; it’s a chance for teams to rethink their device management strategies.
