Hi there,

I recently upgraded my phone from a iPhone 13 pro to a Google Pixel 9 XL. I was able to set up the phone with a specific OS that starts with a G, and I’m slowly getting used to the new system. In terms of using the sand boxing system that the OS has, would it be wise to download the specific apps I need on there and keep them on that profile? (Apps in question would be the likes of banking, Park Mobile, Email apps like Proton Mail and Tutanota)

If not, would it make sense to have a second phone set up with a account that is not tied to me and run the apps on that phone. I have a iPhone 12 that was set up. (It has a separate email not linked to me, different name, address than my actual one, phone number through mint, was not set up on personal WiFi or will ever be connected to the WiFi at my residence, and was set up with a Visa gift card for the app store.) If I use that device with any of the apps I need, do I compromise myself in the long run?
