User Profiles:
User Profiles on our de-googled Privacy Phones leverage GrapheneOS’s enhanced multi-user system – creating isolated “digital rooms” on your device.
They separate apps, data, and encryption keys to significantly reduce cross-access risks and data leaks. Ideal for online safety as they provide stronger compartmentalisation than stock Android’s limited multi-profile support.
Switch between profiles seamlessly in seconds – no need for extra devices – great for isolating work, banking, family access, social apps, etc.
‘Essential’ Privacy Phones are configured with a single ‘Owner’ profile.
‘Pro Bundle‘ Privacy Phones are configured with 3 profiles offering advanced isolation:
- ‘Owner’ profile: admin hub for system controls, tweaks, and app management.
- ‘Daily’ profile: balanced, for everyday apps and activities.
- ‘Ghost’ profile: high-anonymity setup for sensitive tasks.
Private Spaces is a feature that nests a hidden, isolated area within an existing profile – secured by a separate PIN or biometrics for added privacy. It acts like a secret vault: apps inside are sandboxed from the main profile with standalone encryption, ideal for sensitive tasks or risky apps. While it enhances usability over full profiles (no reboot to end sessions), it shares some resources like the clipboard.
Our User Manuals provide easy-to-follow steps to get you set up securely with both. We also detail other isolation features available with our Privacy Phones, such as:
- Storage Scopes – an alternative to broad storage permissions. This function makes apps think they have access to a device but limits to specific files/directories you control.
- Contact Scopes – a granular alternative to full Contacts permissions which allows you to grant read access to subsets only.
