About HiddenProtectedWorkProfile

HiddenProtectedWorkProfile creates an Android work profile that is hidden from the launcher and can be frozen when the screen turns off. Freezing evicts the profile’s encryption keys from memory, and the profile hides its apps after the screen is switched off. The app itself is also hidden inside the work profile. It is launched through a notification, which provides a way to access the profile owner app despite its absence from the launcher. This arrangement is intended to keep a separate set of apps out of view when the phone is not actively in use. HiddenProtectedWorkProfile is a profile-management utility rather than a general app locker. Its behavior depends on Android’s work-profile support and the profile owner controls available on the device. The supplied description does not specify a password or biometric gate, so those should not be assumed. It is useful for users who want a work profile to become unavailable and disappear from launcher surfaces when the screen turns off, with encryption keys removed from RAM until the profile is activated again.
