Best way to use Google Play Store?

Madeleine47

Hello,
On my new Pixel, I’ve created a user profile called “Me”, in addition to the Owner profile. The Owner profile is empty and not used for anything. I use the Me profile for all activities/apps, and it includes the Google Services installation.

Is it best practice, from privacy and security point of view, to use the Me profile for all app?

Thanks,
Madeleine

I'd put everything into the owner profile and anything that's suspect into private space.

You can transfer files to and from private space. Great to share a photo with a friend for example.

Private space is coded as another profile.
I don't see much benefit in another profile. If you have a case for it, you can mention that and clarify if another profile will help.

Some tasks or apps can only be done inside of owner.

(there are a lot of posts discussing this, the most important thing is which apps one uses. the profile seperation can be used for more privacy (no ipc between profiles, different ip/ dns config possible) or at rest encryption)
