Hi there. I need to use my phone for work, but want to isolate anything that is work related. What's the recommended way of doing so these days? Found the Foss app called Shelter, but found it to be a bit buggy and seems to have been a while since previous update. Let me know about any tips or recommendations regarding this! 🙌

Oooh, so now it's a contract thing... Still BS and made up, but I like how you backtrack.

And yes, I've worked in companies that require a work app. Some gave a phone, others allow to install in your. Current is a fortune 50 that allows installing on your own using Intune.

And you can be sure they are smart enough to not try to take away employee property because contracts with illegal terms are not enforceable, so they don't even try.

I guess you're used to being treated badly, in which case I'm sorry for you.

I guess in your case you're just financially secure enough to never have to worry.

I didn't back track at all, its always been a contract. I've seen this happen, and its the reason why I would never tell someone to ever allow company material on a personal phone, this isn't even some obscure advice, it should be well known.

Stop trying to sound like you know everything when you've specifically said you've never experienced this. It has happened, it can happen, it will happen. Put yourself in a safe position by never allowing company apps, material, email, anything on a personal phone.
