***Recently AirWatch Agent v4.3.2.194 has been released to address an issue where in some cases users were migrated to the encrypted AirWatch Contacts and AirWatch Calendar without explicit activation by the Admin. End User's will see this as Contacts no longer being available to any native apps. If an end user was migrated to AirWatch Contacts and AirWatch Calendar in error please ensure you have updated the AirWatch Agent application to v4.3.2.194 and reapply the corresponding profile from Agent > Profiles > [Name of Profile]***
