Hi lemmy,

Iwant to use specific apps as privately as possible.

I’m aware of shelter and the work profile, and I was thinking of using Duolingo or Instagram with fake accounts through a VPN with a killswitch so that it can’t associate my data and usage with me.

Is that in any way possible? Or am I missing something?

I’m running Graphene OS on a Pixel 8 Pro

EDIT: Solved, you can do that with user profiles in Graphene

    You don’t need shelter. Create a multiple user account one just for that app… on GrapheneOS. It is totally isolated from the rest. You can use a vpn just in that user profile too

    User profiles are an Android feature, NOT a Graphene feature. You can use user profiles in any Android phone in the last 6-7 years.

    if you’re willing to go advanced for a bit of extra convenience, then install a mobile browser that has proxy support and proxify that web browser then dedicate the browser to the web version of whatever service you want to use.
