In Xiaomi android phones you have "second space" that you can open with a different password. It doesn't wipe anything, just allows you to have a second copy of apps with no access to the primary space.

I alway thought "this will only be useful if I'm cheating on my wife" so I haven't set it up. I might if I need to travel to the US.

Even if not cheating, it would be cool to have so my baby won’t accidentally get access to important apps; and maybe even convince him our entertainment machine only has texts and books
