Massaging in Work profile

hobbitus

Hello everyone,
I cannot get the messaging application to work in work profile (managed by Shelter).
It does not get beyond first screen, no issue in Personal profile.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

I wonder whether anyone is using call/messages in work profile.
I can call from work profile, but I'm unable to get calls to work profile
As I have already mentioned, the message app does now work in work profile at all.
Is that bug?

hobbitus If you could route all sim2 calls and messages to work profile and make sim2 invisible in normal profile, it would make sense.. but it does not work that way..

messaging and phone makes no sense in work profile imho.

Thanks for response,
so which way does it work?

Messaging and phone calls in work profile are essential when user have to separate what is personal and what is for work, or in any way accommodate multilevel security and sensitivity/classification.

That is what work profile is intended for.

It is fairly obvious to users with two SIMs / phone numbers, one for personal and one for work use, or simply for two different sensitivity levels.

It would be highly desirable to have an option to disable phone and messaging functionality in the personal profile without disabling it in work profile and/or network access (4/5G services) as the devices are no longer only 'phones' but capable mobile computer devices.

hobbitus Work profile is just another user profile, and you can put all his apps to sleep at once. That's all. There is no relationship between work profile and cellphone(sim) related services. I did not find one. It feels to me half cooked. (this is general android, it is not related to graphene at all).

You can have a Phone app in work profile, set the default sim to sim2 there. Then you can use that phone app for outgoing calls.
But incoming calls will arrive in main profile. When you miss a call belonging to work, and then click on the call in missed calls list, it will use the default sim, that is set for MAIN profile.
This means it could disclose your private sim1 number to a work contact. I am using acr phone app as phone app, you can set there the sim for each contact.

But randomly these settings are lost. I dont know why.

Summary => it does not work as i'd wish. To separate work/personal without any possible mistakes that you never call work contact with personal sim, you need to have two devices....

I agree with your observation and have the same experience.
Rather confusingly, it is possible to set up 'Work phone ringtone'.

I could probably live with the setup of making phone calls from work profile, but receiving it only in personal profile. Not only I mainly use VoIP and the mobile number is hidden, but most importantly, no content of the phone call is left outside the work profile.

However, that is not the case with messages, because it is not possible to hide the number and the content of the messages would be in personal profile.

Moreover, all contacts are in work profile and I cannot and don't want to move them to personal profile.

For now, two devices are the only workable and reliable option.

Making this work would be great improvement in privacy and security as a second login is required for the work profile. Option to disable phone and messaging but keeping data would be also good. If I get time I'll put this forward as a feature request.
