Include apps from a 2nd android-profile (work profile)

[Burnst]

I got my main android-profile with whatsapp installed and also a work profile with whatsapp installed. I want to turn off notifications from my Whatsapp installed in my work-profile with a Quick-settings-tile-button.

In MD, installed in my main android-profile, i can select the apps from my main profile for actions, but those apps, installed in my 2nd profile (work profile) are not listed in MD. Is there a workaround?

What you mean by profile exactly? You mean the function in android to create more accounts with different password, apps and so on?

Hey! Thx for the reply. Android has an extra implemented feature to activate a "work Profile". It is generated by an app, like "Island". Its a a second android box. You can install almost every app a second time on it, and those apps from the work-profile are shown with a little briefcase-icon. You dont have to switch between profiles if you get an Message on Whatsapp from your work profile. You can answer it by the usual status-bar. only the little briefcase icon shows, that it is in your work-Whatsapp.

So its not a second profile for a second user.. its much more a second profile for one person wo wants to seperate private and professional.

Android is made for it. So if you have an work profile and go to Settings -> notifications, you got 2 tabs: private and professional. Or if you wanna share a pic out of your gallery -> when a work profile is active, you got 2 tabs where you can choose an app from.

And i want to make a rule (from my MD, installed in my private profile) for an app which is installed on my work profile. I can install MD on my work profile, but then i need to create an makro and trigger on every profile.

Im looking for a way to create one macro, which i activate and it mutes App1, App2, App3 on my private profile and App1 and App2 on my work profile.

Its in the Play Store

It appears to be a new app and is in development.

Some prefer this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.typeblog.shelter

seems to me another app of

"dual apps" or "clone app"

kind of app

as for turning off notifications you do it in the same way you would do without cloning , with UI actions I guess

Yes, its in Playstore, and there are several apps who generate this work profile in Android, but "island" was the most uncomplicated and fastest to me.

Shelter is another App who can do it, yes!

but how can i implement settings or Actions from MD to those apps? If i want to select an app as a trigger or action, those apps from the work-profile are not listed.

you want to turn off notifications or use all MD abilities ?

in Android settings -> apps how many Whatsapp apps do you see ??
