Work profiles are inferior to separate user profiles, which are built-in to GrapheneOS.

Also "private space" is now available with Android 15 and can provide the same separation within a single user profile.

Don't you have user profiles in Pixels? I can create another user an switch. Just not super convient. Work profiles are actually pretty good good... For work.

Different use cases. User profiles are only active when you manually switch to them, while work profiles are active _alongside_ your main profile.

So for untrusted apps that you only use occasionally and on-demand (like the myriads of travel / shopping / random services apps), user profiles are great. For apps that you want to keep in the background, such as the proprietary messaging apps that all your friends use, a work profile is much nicer.

Private Space is very similar to a user profile but nested inside of another user. GrapheneOS adds shared clipboard control for Private Space which was the main disadvantage compared to a secondary user.

GrapheneOS supports having a Private Space in secondary users instead of only a single one in Owner. Supporting multiple Private Spaces per user is a planned feature at which point work profiles will be fully obsolete. The remaining use case for work profiles is to have both a Private Space and work profile in the Owner user.
