AT&T Toggle is an enterprise mobile
device management service that allows a smartphone owner to
create separate personal and business environments on the same device. Although the end user
can easily switch between personal and business environments, the data in each environment remains
isolated.
Toggle is installed as a software application (app) to the user's device and
managed by a network administrator through a Web portal. Corporate administrators can use Toggle to
deploy business applications, grant access to specific data or erase all data from a phone if an
employee loses the device or leaves the company.
In a computing context, to toggle is to switch back and forth between different
environments or features.
