  • Shelter Pre-installed with additional Contacts App (blue suitcase showing)

Hey Everyone,

So I noticed yesterday that the Shelter app was installed, guessing part of a new Graphene update. But also saw that I now have duplicate apps that now have a blue suitcase on the icon and when I select the app, its background on the settings/app page is a different theme. I am unable to remove/disable the shelter app or the other blue suitcase apps. Any ideas what these are? I did read that shelter is a more secure work profile app. But what if someone wants to remove/disable these? I just find it annoying I have duplicate apps now.

    My phone was updated today and no shelter - I dont think it was "part of a new Graphene update", got to be something else

      ozzmanj1 Hi there!

      Shelter being installed on your device is definitely not part of any recent (or any at all) GrapheneOS update.

      Are you sure you didn't install it in the past?

          matchboxbananasynergy I do not recall adding it. But now that it is installed, I am unable to disable or uninstall

          Okay, I just checked, apparently I downloaded the apk at some point and manually installed. But again, now that it is installed, battery is set to unrestricted and I cannot change to optimized or restricted, and I am unable to disable or uninstall. Any suggestions?

              ozzmanj1 Unfortunately I don't have any advice on how to uninstall it if the option isn't available from Settings > Apps, but I just wanted to say that between this issue and your ongoing battery drain problems I would take a seriously close look at the apps you are using and where you are obtaining them from. Something clearly isn't right with your current situation.

                matchboxbananasynergy Man, i looked and did not see a work profile setup, but when I scrolled down further I did see the toggle for it. Thank you!. I was losing my mind over this. This shelter app has been removed.

                Thank you matboxbananasynergy and to everyone else here who assisted. I appreciate it, thank you!
