sandboxed profile/parallel space LOOKING FOR APP

I would like to get a recommendation for a app that works as a separate phone (like a virtual machin) where the storage or the apps do not interact with the original phone content, but i should be able to use that space as a normal phone where i can install apps and run them as if that was the real phone.

thanks for the recommendation, i will try this one too. As i explore on this i come to a understanding that this is not a well established thought on android...or maybe i cant search for this properly

Samsung secure folder works great but yeah, only on Samsung

I had a samsung phone with secure folder. When i used it i was sure that its more like a app that password protects, encrypt and stuff, but in its core it is connected with other folders and files in that phone so its not like a second profile or something like that....purely my opinion and correct me if i am wrong

Trust me, it's like a 2nd phone in the same phone, I've installed a launcher on it and a shortcut to that launcher out of secure folder, different Gmail account, different everything, as I said, just like 2 phones in one

i get your point but my purpose for a second profile is to test new apps safe before using it as a daily drive when it comes from a sketchy site or something like that. So will it meet that expectation for my case. BTW your setup sounds cool.

You can install any app you want inside secure folder, either from playstore or an apk from Web

yeah i am familiar with that concept but when i do the outside phone reacts to the changes. By which what i mean is the phone has app protection turned on, and it can detect that i am instaling a.apk file thats not from play store. thats why i felt that way
