When using a device outside of a controlled wireless network, wearables require higher communications security with respect to encryption, information integrity, and non-repudiation. Since wearable computers are quite small, most do not come equipped with higher security features and any data that is sent and received is vulnerable. Consequently,
BlackBerry Work
's support for wearables is confined to notifications and reminders.

High priority notifications (Android only)
Select the “Enable high priority notifications for regular incoming emails (Android only)” option to enable high-priority notifications for regular (non-VIP) incoming email messages. Messages will be delivered with an audible sound even when the device is in Sleep mode.
If this option is enabled, a user cannot turn off this feature on their device. If this option is not enabled, a user can choose to turn on this feature on their device.
This feature requires

Email Sync Window
In the "Maximum Email Sync Window Allowed" drop-down list, specify the number of days in the past to synchronize email messages to devices. If the setting on a device allows for more days than the server setting, the server setting is used and email messages that are older than the server setting are removed from the device. If the setting on the device allows fewer days than the server setting, the setting on the device remains the same. The user can change the setting on the device to fewer days than the server setting.
Draft Folder Syncing

    Microsoft Entra ID
     portal.
  • Select the "Use
    Office 365
     Brokered Authentication" to require users to use brokered authentication to authenticate to
    BlackBerry Work
     and access
    BlackBerry Work
     Docs repository content (for example,
    Microsoft SharePoint Online
    ) to ensure that settings configured in
    Entra ID
     Conditional Access are applied. To use this feature,
    • Your environment must be enabled for
      Entra ID
       conditional access. For more information, see Configure Entra ID conditional access in the
