    Does someone know where I can find a tutorial for this? I feel dumb asking but I don’t really understand how to use this.

      You can install any APK using Insular after installing, and it’ll go to your “work profile” which is supported by most launchers. I’m using Lawnchair v2, and work apps have their own tab in the app drawer.

      You can also clone apps to the work profile by just going to the app and searching through installed apps

      Same… I installed and figure I’d figure it out later if I ever need to use a Google or FB product again

      I’m a bit late but I’ve been running Android with an extra work profile to isolate apps for years. As others mentioned VPNs are a per-profile thing, so you can just use your Insular or Shelter app to install (clone) the VPN app to the work profile. Then just make sure you are always running 2 VPNs (normal profile and work profile).
