What about settings, though? Don't you have to set up each user profile separately? Also, what if you ever want to share a file across user profiles?

- gruez 1y agoSee: https://github.com/VentralDigital/InterProfileSharing https://github.com/VentralDigital/InterProfileSharing It also shows that profiles can't really prevent an app from correlating profiles on the same device, by listening on a local socket.

- ysnp 1y agoSharing files requires a bit of creativity. You can share with file synchronisation apps like Syncthing/Ouisync [0], exploit a temporary weakness in the isolation model with Inter Profile Sharing [1], or simply copy the files over to an external storage device and transfer them that way.

- j1elo 1y agoI've successfully used Material Files [1] to set a nework shared folder (I think it was FTP) on one Android profile, and accessing it ("connecting" to it) from the other. So this might also work between GrapheneOS profiles. [1]: https://f-droid.org/packages/me.zhanghai.android.files/ https://f-droid.org/packages/me.zhanghai.android.files/
- tranq_cassowary 1y agoYou can use Seedvault to make and restore a backup. Set up a secondary user profile with settings only (no apps yet), make a backup and use that in future for initializing other profiles. There are apps like Inter Profile sharing (appID: digital.ventral.ips).
