NOTE - This FAQ references the Knox Workspace, which is a feature of Knox Platform for Enterprise. This feature also depends on what version of the Knox framework is installed on your device.

Knox 3.0 and above

Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (GATT), and NFC are fully supported inside the Workspace. These features are enabled by default upon Workspace creation – an IT policy with a supported EMM can disable this.

Knox 2.4 - 2.9

Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (GATT), and NFC are fully supported inside the Workspace. These features may be disabled by default upon Workspace creation – an IT policy with a supported EMM can enable this.

Knox 2.3 or below

Bluetooth, Bluetooth GATT, and NFC aren't supported inside the Workspace. If the device is connected to a peripheral (e.g. headphones) in the personal space, Bluetooth will remain connected, even if the user enters the Workspace. Apps inside the Workspace can't initiate a Bluetooth connection.
