    I never understood why people are using the same phone for work and private life. Even if they call my private phone number I won’t answer (especially outside work time). And my work phone stays on my desk, so also not available after work.

    Dammit. I really liked the absolute off Android used to provide.

    Fortunately Google no longer supports my Pixel so I won’t see this until I upgrade.

      Get Pixel Experience or LineageOS. It’s the whole point of having a Pixel phone; you can still upgrade it after it was planned obsolescenced.

    It does not seem that you actually get nagged notifications while the work profile is paused.

    As I understand it the apps get them but will display them when you resume your work profile.

    Sensational title but most people have been asking for this change. Also not sure why it’s upsetting. I’m guessing the Apple bots that got purged have found a new home?

      I thought the article explained it well.

      Android 14’s work profile changes also mean you’re never truly away from work even if you pause the work profile. You’ll now definitely know when your boss or a colleague is calling you, and you’ll never show up as offline to work colleagues. Google basically replaced the previous behavior with an aggressive do-not-disturb mode, but we all know that not all jobs will respect that you’re off the clock.

      Mishaal also mentioned that this could negatively affect battery life, and also allow work apps to continue accessing your location.

      I mean beep boop beep
