Since when did you have to wipe your phone to enroll it in MDM? You don’t even have to wipe it if you unenroll, and that would certainly be more important since the phone could have downloaded sensitive content in that time.

Don't know since when, but definitely for a few years. To fully unenroll too. The reason is because in order to fully manage the device it needs to reset and restart in a managed mode.

This isn't true. You can enroll and unenroll without wiping. You can't _supervise_ without wiping. These are two seperate (commonly confused) things.

I mean, you plainly don’t. I asked a rhetorical question and made it clear by explaining you don’t.

This thread explains the difference between enrolling and supervising and is pretty clear that enrollment does not require a wipe.

You don't have to wipe to enrol, only to supervise a device. Supervision enables a lot of features that would be considered user hostile in a different context - it's definitely not something you want being enabled without you knowing.
