Hi there. I need to use my phone for work, but want to isolate anything that is work related. What’s the recommended way of doing so these days? Found the Foss app called Shelter, but found it to be a bit buggy and seems to have been a while since previous update. Let me know about any tips or recommendations regarding this! 🙌
With Graphene, the recommended way is to use separate profiles, not Shelter or similar apps. Check out the official Graphene account on their forum:

You dont need shelter. Just create another user profile.
Would love to but switching profiles crashes my 6a and restarts the phone every time. Wish this problem would be fixed as it makes switching profiles so annoying and using a a service like shelter more convenient.
I would probably focus on getting that fixed and tell your employer that they need to provide you a work phone or pay you a stipen.
Profiles are a pretty big feature to not having working on Android in general but, especially on Graphene.
Why not a second user profile?
Not sure why i didnt think of using the stock option for this tbh. But isnt that what shelter and these apps do anyway? What are the differences?
I’m just an average user, I don’t think I can give an accurate answer… But check this out…
Super helpful community. Tons of info available.
