Until a few years ago, any app you installed on an Android device could see all other apps on your phone without your permission.

    I know this happened a few years ago but would having a separate work profile through Shelter, Island, or Insular limit the app to only see those on the profile?

      Yes, it would. Those basically create sandboxes.
