Google has officially launched the new Pixel 8 Series phones. These new devices are ready to ship with the stable Android 14 version. The company also introduced new features for business and enterprise customers, like updates to Work Profile.
Android 14 gets a sideways swipe
Android’s Work Profile now allows you to differentiate personal and corporate data. With the latest Android 14, you can easily switch between personal and Work Profiles in Google apps by swiping sideways on the profile picture that appears in the top-right corner. (Swiping up/down today already lets you switch between all signed-on accounts.)
Meanwhile, you can have work-related screenshots automatically saved to the Work Profile, while screen sharing can be limited to a single app when Casting so you “avoid accidentally sharing a personal screen when casting [your] device onto, say, a conference room screen.”
Apps like Google Messages will let you view all contacts without switching profiles. You can also search in the Settings app for Work Profile preferences and device policies.
