Thank you :)
Android 14 has support for this so hopefully it does release.
Oh nice
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-14-app-cloning/
Any ideas on when it might release? The articles I came across said September
Pretty sure it's being delayed until October, they're releasing the Pixel 8 alongside it
I think Shelter works or you can install Messenger Lite as your second copy
That's actually why I'm looking, Messenger Lite just got shut down the other day
That setup worked great till now
Oh sad to hear, i guess Shelter is the way to go but the separate storage is kind of a pain to deal with
I have an app called "Clone app" that I use to have two accounts on Discord.
Link or reference please

I couldn't find anything open source but this one works and isn't too privacy invasive.
Thanks for efforts but........
Shelter can give you one extra copy. Not sure about more than that.
Yea this works pretty well, but it gets a little annoying trying to send a photo because the storage is separate
Still possible but just a couple of extra steps every time
Really? I can share photos from work to personal. I don't know what I did.
Oh really
For me if I want to take a photo and then share it, I need to go into my gallery, find the photo, and then go through the share menu options to find the work app
I haven't tried the other way though
go into my gallery, find the photo, and then go through the share menu options to find the work app
That's what I do as well. I guess that's my default workflow. :D
Looks like that's what I'll do too, shouldn't be too bad until android 14 drops
Samsung does have a way to do this, secure folder. It's different in some ways to the work profile but functionally the same
