Android work profiles are great. I just dumped all the Microshaft stuff my company uses in there and called it a day. xD It, and they, can not see my other account and data. All I needed, all I wanted. Perfection. ^_^

And when not in use, everything gets terminated because I disallowed it to run in the background. Gone~

Oh, right! This thing also exists. Though keeping all things in a separate profile also makes separation between private and work a bit easier.

But I have a few apps on my phone - Insta, Twitter - that could really use this. Thanks for the hint, will play with this now. ^^

It's actually based on using the work profile. I think, it's just a frontend for those, who would like to use the core feature in a #privacy minded style.

I haven't used it much yet, but this app showed me after the initial installation, that there is such a thing as "work profile" on #Android.

Since I discovered #Container tabs on #FireFox, I constantly use them, every day for everything. I would like to do the same with such an app, but the biggest turn off, when I realised how this work profile thing works, is that it has apparently only offers two profiles, with no way of expansion. Default & Work profile.

This does not make much sense to me. It's better, than having all in one, but to me personally, having a second profile only adds like 10% value.

I want this to be like in #FireFox, where I can just create a variable amount of containers for whichever purpose I want. For once, highly specified & therefore especially isolated ones, like for example a container only for Google services.

Well, I guess something like #Qubes #QubesOS above OS level on #Android would be amazing.

Anyway, I haven't been using it much, although two profiles are better than one, so thanks for reminding me to check it out, again & really try to make use of it...
