What's the best way these days to install multiple copies of a messaging app?
Long time ago I'd use a third party app for that, but I don't really trust them enough for that now. The closest solution I found was to use the work profile with Shelter, would that be the way to go?
In my case the app is Facebook Messenger & phone is Pixel 6.
I think Samsung devices also had a built in way to do this

Any ideas on when it might release? The articles I came across said September
2 0 ReplyPretty 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
2 0 ReplyThat's actually why I'm looking, Messenger Lite just got shut down the other day
That setup worked great till now
1 0 ReplyOh sad to hear, i guess Shelter is the way to go but the separate storage is kind of a pain to deal with

I couldn't find anything open source but this one works and isn't too privacy invasive.

Samsung does have a way to do this, secure folder. It's different in some ways to the work profile but functionally the same
1 0 ReplyShelter can give you one extra copy. Not sure about more than that.
1 0 ReplyYea 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
2 0 ReplyReally? I can share photos from work to personal. I don't know what I did.
