I got a new phone. Skipped a few generations and now I’m running the current GrapheneOS, based on Android 15. I’ve moved most of the apps, but now I’d like to install my 3 banking apps and 5 discount program spyware apps. I guess I best separate them from the rest of the arbitrary stuff. Banking apps so they can’t be messed with, and shady discount programs so those apps can’t mess with me and my data…

The internet has a lot of information about Shelter, work profiles, the new(?) private spaces… But I don’t know what is current advice and what’s outdated advice… What’s the current best practice?

    Up through Android 14 everything boils down to different programs to manage a work profile. I’ve always used Shelter or just straight up used the built in work profile support in LineageOS.

    I don’t know if it’s possible to create more than one separate space.

    Edit: the only way I’ve found to make two separate app containers on android <= 14 is a combination of a work profile and Samsung’s secure folder. I don’t know of any other sandbox technique.

      Hmmh, I was looking for info on Android 15 and the future. But you’re right. I’ve enabled the private space now and it seems it’s just one. I might have to use a combination of techniques anyways, or something like Shelter… I had hoped there is a single and clear answer to my question 😆
