Android Work Profile can be set up on an Android device to separate work apps and data from personal apps and data. With a Work Profile you can securely and privately use the same device for work and personal purposes—your organization manages your work apps and data while your personal apps, data, and usage remain private.
Lock your work profile You can lock your work profile on devices with Android 7.0 Nougat or later. If you try to open a work app, you’ll be prompted to enter your passcode. Some administrators require a lock. If so, you’ll be prompted to set it when you set up your Android device.
A Work Profile is a self contained profile on an Android device for storing work apps and data. Work Profile allows separation of work apps and data, giving organizations full control of the data, apps, and security policies within a Work Profile. Simultaneously, users retain privacy over their personal apps, data, and usage.
Control work profile notifications Devices with Android 7.0 Nougat and later only You can set up notifications to alert you to work events, such as new messages and appointments. You can decide how you want notifications to appear on your device when it’s locked. Lock screen notification options
Remove a work account from an Android device When you remove a work account or profile from your device, everything associated with the account is removed from the device, including email, contacts, and settings. If your device has a work profile, then work-managed apps are removed from the device, too.
Work or school Google Account You might have a Google Account that was set up through your work or school, a club, or maybe family or friends. This is often called a Google Workspace account. If you also have another Google Account that you set up just for yourself, you might notice some differences when using each account.
Calls, texts, & contacts in your Work Profile Calls and texts (SMS/RCS) aren't generally available from within the Work Profile because telephony works across the entire device and operates independently of the Work Profile.
