Hello everyone,

Do sms apps like "Simple SMS" work in secondary profiles if I am using it as my "owner profile"? I want to use a secondary as my main profile, but I do not want to to have to go to the owner for anything except to manage system settings.

thanks for the help!

    Yes, I believe they'll work fine while you're actively using the secondary profile. In my experience, you'll only encounter issues when trying to monitor those secondary apps while actively using the owner profile.

    BrianHolmes I dont think that's accurate or at least not what the OP is asking.

    Yes, SMS apps work in the secondary profile.
    When I was testing a setup similar to the OP in which my owner profile was naked and a secondary profile as main, I was able to install and use Google Messages in the secondary profile. Actually, I had stock SMS app disabled in my secondary profile. I did have some issue with duplicated messages but I dont think it was related to profile setup.

      f13a-6c3a oh that’s a relief! How did you fix the duplicate issue?

        [deleted] I didnt, actually, I didnt even look into it.
        I was testing GOS to see what setup would work for me to protect my privacy while not hindering useability to the point that would annoy me. I did not like 2 profiles setup as I did not like how I need to go back to owner's profile for some settings, how I couldnt setup some ADB commands, among other little things. So, I decided that I would just use my phone with one owner profile - I wiped the phone and setup it up afresh.

          f13a-6c3a do you use google play services on the owner?

            What? Can you explain what you mean here?
