The Google Admin app is the go-to mobile tool for managing Google for Work accounts. This piece of software provides system administrators with the ability to add or remove users, change their passwords, and perform other puppet master-like tasks. If you're a person with such responsibilities, the latest update puts a few more tricks in that bag of yours.

The big highlight is the ability to manage Android and iOS devices. This gives you the power to keep track of everyone's phones and tablets while also keeping them secure. The new section is visible under Groups in the navigation menu.
