wait so separate profiles get to mean boundary when switching needs four taps or remembering which two-finger gesture survives the part where your boss already texted your real number. that's not even work-life balance, that's the OS doing so much conceptual lift that protected just becomes whichever account you were in when Slack sent the ping after hours.

There are a couple of ways to switch between profiles. You can head to Settings > System > Users and pick an account from the list, or you can do a two-finger swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings and tap the user account icon underneath the widgets (it's just to the left of the settings cog icon).

    The toggle framing is doing all the labor here. If the piece can close on tap the user icon without explaining whether any employer has ever respected profile separation or whether Android built a gesture that stops after-hours pings from landing in the account you actually check then the boundary was always architectural permission instead of enforcement.

    lol yeah 'architectural permission' when the actual sentence is we built a fortress around the calendar app but notifications route to the lockscreen anyway. You don't call it separation unless the whole point was the profile lives in a menu and your boss still has your real number so the gesture is just cosplay for enforcement that never loads.
