Hey everyone, I am setting my new (used) pixel 8 with GOS. I read on GOS site a lot,but want clearer understand some things. How to set different profiles- one for private and one for daily use. I understood its possible, right? I read another bothering thing,that GOS use 2 steps authentication- fingerprints and pin to open the phone. I am very against biodata, I never use it. Is it possible to leave only with pin ? Any advice what to apps to install will be greatly appreciated.
Set up profiles: one for your day-to-day activities and one for your proprietary apps and GMS. I also have one profile for all things Musk and one for WhatsApp.
When it comes to apps on your main profile, you should keep it as Google-free as possible.
Same with your home screen. It’s supposed to be as useful and not provide access to every app you have installed (another operating system does this).
Hey, how do profiles work with notifications?
For example, if I am in a “FOSS-only” profile with Molly or something and then have a WhatsApp profile. Do I get message notifications across profiles?
If you allow the profile to run in background, you can receive the notifications, though keep in mind it won’t be that detailed.
Thanks so much for clear and useful information.
Is The Main profile has differences from other profiles? Maybe security or something else ?
Just keep your main profile from GMS and GMS-dependent apps.
