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 private spaces… But I don’t know what is current advice and what’s outdated advice… What’s the current best practice?

    Can’t you just run them when you expect a notification? How many times a week do you do online shopping that this is a chore

      Yeah, I could do that, too. I’m usually aware of when I click some “order” button… And I’m not sure if I’d miss the push notifications when I finished the supermarket check-out and swiped my bank card… I guess I could do both. After yesterday’s advice, I just installed them into my main profile. Maybe I should check the permissions of PayPal and the other app and see if I like my current approach.
