@dale_price There are programs on Android that kinda do this by misusing the work apps profile feature. This is where I throw social media and fast food apps. There are no contacts in the work mode address book, and when I hit the freeze button they all get chloroform naps.

An app named shelter, a shortcut labeled freeze apps, and a bunch of social media apps with the shelter icon in the corner.

@tobtobxx Shelter by PeterCxy of F-Droid. There's another called Insular by proletarius101 that's the same idea also on F-Droid. While I got you there, NeoStore is my preferred F-Droid client over the official one, it works a bit faster and looks a bit nicer.

@MontgomeryGator Thanks! Does Neo Store have unattended background updates? (ie. Without the "update APK" popup?) Because that's the reason I'm using F-Droid Basic.

EDIT: Without root.

@tobtobxx I don't think so, that being said I'm not entirely sure. I know having both applications doesn't cause conflicts, they both can manage the same apps jointly.
