I want "app containers" on my phone to limit these apps and feed them fake data as needed.
- _piif 4y agoOn Android you should be able to create new user accounts on the phone which are completely separated and can be quickly switched between. I used to create one with just WhatsApp installed for instance. Alternatively if you are rooted Xprivacy[0] does what you asked, allowing you to grant apps permissions but then feeding them fake data as configured. No idea about iOS though. EDIT: There seems to be an app called Insular[1] which also works like Xprivacy, but doesn't require root at all and comes with a couple of extra features like the ability to have multiple instances of an app installed. Haven't tried this one though and I have no idea if it even runs on newer versions of Android.

- _carbyau_ 4y agoMultiple worthy suggestions? Which I could upvote more than once. Thank you. Insular seems to rely on the inbuilt managed profiles to "run as" another user. Seems straightforward. I'll try it out!
