Long time ago I’d use a third party app for that, but I don’t really trust them enough for that now. The closest solution I found was to use the work profile with Shelter, would that be the way to go?
In my case the app is Facebook Messenger & phone is Pixel 6.
I think Samsung devices also had a built in way to do this

Oh nice

Any ideas on when it might release? The articles I came across said September
NekomimiNebula ( @NekomimiNebula@beehaw.org ) English2•9 months agoPretty sure it’s being delayed until October, they’re releasing the Pixel 8 alongside it

I couldn’t find anything open source but this one works and isn’t too privacy invasive.

Avid Amoeba ( @avidamoeba@lemmy.ca ) English1•9 months agoShelter can give you one extra copy. Not sure about more than that.
Yea this works pretty well, but it gets a little annoying trying to send a photo because the storage is separate
Still possible but just a couple of extra steps every time
Avid Amoeba ( @avidamoeba@lemmy.ca ) English1•9 months agoReally? I can share photos from work to personal. I don’t know what I did.
Oh really
For me if I want to take a photo and then share it, I need to go into my gallery, find the photo, and then go through the share menu options to find the work app
I haven’t tried the other way though
Avid Amoeba ( @avidamoeba@lemmy.ca ) English2•9 months agogo into my gallery, find the photo, and then go through the share menu options to find the work app
That’s what I do as well. I guess that’s my default workflow. :D
Looks like that’s what I’ll do too, shouldn’t be too bad until android 14 drops
