Shelter is an app that allows you to run apps isolated from the rest of the system. This way, you can guarantee that an app will not be able to access data from other apps, nor your personal data.

Like this, all apps run in an isolated profile outside the main profile of your device. This way, you can freeze background processes or apps that you don't use frequently. In addition, you can clone apps in order to use two accounts at the same time on the same device. The latter is very useful, especially for social networks.

Shelter requires administrator permissions in order to work properly. Also, it doesn't work on Xiaomi devices with MIUI. Therefore, if you have a Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO device, it's better not to install it, as you might brick your device.

To work, the app uses the implementation of the work profile. However, manufacturers' implementations, as is the case with Xiaomi, may cause it to malfunction.

Shelter is not a complete sandbox that isolates the apps running on it. Therefore, it's possible that, if you use it on a device with vulnerabilities, there may be hackers who take advantage of them. For example, if there are bugs in the Linux kernel, backdoors in your firmware, or other bugs, a hacker may exploit them.

Regardless, if you're looking for an app for running content securely, downloading the Shelter APK is a good choice.

Hi, so I installed Shelter yesterday and did not get a lot of input where I wanted apps to go or what side I wanted to be isolated. I understand that it was probably user error for a decent percentage...See more
