Why each option
Application whitelisting on a mobile device restricts execution to only explicitly approved applications, preventing users from installing or running unauthorized programs.
Application whitelisting creates an approved list of applications that are permitted to be installed and executed on a device, blocking all software not on the list. On company-owned mobile devices managed via MDM, whitelisting policies enforce that only corporate-approved apps can be installed, effectively preventing users from adding unauthorized programs. This is a direct technical enforcement control, not just a policy.
Access control lists manage permissions to files, directories, or network resources and do not control which applications can be installed on a mobile device.
Geotagging is a feature that embeds GPS location data into media files and has no relationship to application installation control.
Remote wipe erases all data from a device after it is reported lost or stolen; it does not prevent installation of applications during normal use.
