I’ve been tinkering with the idea of switching back to a dumb phone. I haven’t dug too far into the search because every time I do, I get hung up on the apps I need for work - outlook, my work keycard app, etc. Is there any good way to work around this? Keep my current phone with only those apps for work, operating on WiFi, and switch my primary phone? If anyone has examples of things they’ve tried and what’s worked, that would be great. TIA!

    I have a separate, company-issued phone that is used exclusively for work related activities and that is not even connected to my home network.

    If work wants me checking email on the go then they can supply the phone. I don’t have an email app on my personal phone.

    I use Shelter to activate the work profile.

    Then all the work related apps are installed there.

    It can have an activation schedule or activated or disabled manually and conveniently with on board Android functions.
