Despite it probably not being a use case that was considered in development, the thing I’ve found Graphene to be excellent for is actually managing a young child’s first tablet. Give them access to a small handful of learning and education focused apps, maybe a semi-educational creative game like minecraft, the camera app and a drawing app with a stylus. Then completely disable external comms like phone, messaging, browser, notifications. You can have a separate admin acct for device management and give that account the ability to load apps and toggle functionality.
This would probably work great for older non-techie relatives’ tablets as well.
iOS is very much not built with this level of multi account fine-grained permissions in mind.
- pull_my_finger 2y agoThis was a pleasant surprise for me as well. Actually it's an Android feature that just doesn't get exposed in actual Android phones, from my understanding. The ability to have profiles, where you can restrict app acquisition, but instead push apps from the root profile to sub profiles, is very powerful and useful. Very linux administration vibed. Also, it has app pinning, which lets you essentially make it so that user cannot exit the app that's pinned. If that isn't _exactly_ what parents have been searching for idk what is.
