treequell Use the install available apps feature in GrapheneOS to install required apps from owner profile to secondary profile

One last noob question. How do you do this?

Is it in the apps menu on the non owner profile?

      Rt11111 How do you do this?

      In your owner profile, Open Settings > System > Multiple users > Your secondary user profile > Install available apps. Using that menu, any apps which you enable the toggle for will get installed in your secondary user profile.

          Rt11111 you're not dumb (or we are all dumb at many points in time, your choice :D). There are legit use cases for what you did and I had a lucky guess that it might not be what you wanted to achieve. Keep asking, keep learning. This is the right place to do it.

            treequell this is awesome. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. This massively enhances my setup.

            Now running aurora via a burner Google login. 2 profiles one with GP services, other without. 2 different DoH with varying levels of blocking.

            Now sending out very little data via the phone.

            What a transformation!

              Glad that helps to meet your needs. I'm going to mark this thread as solved for now, please don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.

              logging into Play Store caused you to create an entry in the "Password and accounts" sections of your settings. This is basically your hub for accounts and some apps do check and use a fitting account from here (so you don't have to log into all apps from the same company, such as Google).

              Thanks important info. This a bit of a downer isn't that the type of behaviour i thought would be switched off in GOS??
              @Rt11111 Did you have "Autofill services" to "None" or was it on. Because i thought if i have it on "None" i would safe from stuff like this.....

                Alternatively, the app can also be deactivated in this way:

                Long press app icon> App info> disable.

                Since the app icon disappears after disabling it and you also no longer can't search for it, you have to follow the path described by other8026 to reactivate the app and click on "enable".
