    Is it though? I have three profiles on my phone:

    1. main - all my normal apps; no Google Play whatsoever
    2. work - work apps; Google Play services running
    3. google - Google stuff (like Google Maps and whatnot); Google Play services running

    This is on GrapheneOS, and they basically just ship AOSP with some patches on top.

      Congrats. You just volunteered to teach all the boomers (and the zoomers who can’t do anything that isn’t google docs) how to set all that up and maintain it

      May Erastil have mercy on your soul

        Eh, it’s not too bad:

        1. Settings
        2. System
        3. Multiple Users -> Allow
        4. Add User

        Then to switch, there will be a new icon next to the Settings icon when you swipe down. Tap that and select the profile you want.

        I use GrapheneOS, which ships w/o Google Play by default (installation process is a little trickier, but still easy), but most phones won’t have an option to uninstall Google Play since it’s a default system app. But if have managed to install GrapheneOS, setting up a profile to quarantine your Google Play apps is pretty easy.
