Will my company know if I airdropped an email attachment from my work iPhone to my personal Apple device (e.g., iPhone and iPad)? (alien.top)

Our work email is installed in an iPhone and we can access emails directly through iPhone's Mail app, rather than Outlook or anything else.

Security measures have been taken to prohibit us from using some typical iPhone's sharing functions.

However, one workaround is that we airdrop an attachment (I tested when I was trying to keep records of an HR-related document, which is permitted under policy), and the recipient could be a personal device.

Not trying to steal any confidential information, but just wondering out of curiosity whether the company will get to know whether we have transferred any attachments to any external devices through airdrop from the work iPhone?

don’t quote me but if you airdrop it to a personal device and don’t share the document with other people i highly doubt they will find out

Why not just use your personal device to take photos of the document in question?
