Work profile is basically a second set of apps with a little briefcase badge that coexist next to your other apps. You/work chooses which apps are installed. They can't access the data in your actual profile and vice versa. You don't log out and in, it's just 2 containers spaces.
Private space is basically another such container, meant to be a 2nd personal one, but the apps aren't seen next to the others ... Theyre inert and hidden until you unlock the private space (pin/print/etc)
I think Android 15 is needed or thereabouts.
IDK about this 3rd party one being mentioned by adding it to my todo list
Thanks for the explanation. I'm just curious how island is different from shelter and insular.
