My company recently gave its employees the option to use our own devices to access company email and calendars. But we have to install AirWatch MDM app and there is some configuration. Our IT representative doesn't seem to know a whole lot about how AirWatch works, other than how to install it.

Does anyone have any experience with it? Can someone from my company's IT access my personal email, text messages, phone calls, GPS, app usage, etc.? I'm apparently supposed to be connected to the Airwatch wifi as well, but I seem to still get company email and appointments on my calendar if I disconnect from it. I'm using an iPhone, if that matters. Any insights or thoughts? Thanks!
