      The whole point of mobile games are they are shitty little time wasters you can put on the device you have with you tho. I can’t ever imagine buying a whole other device just for something like Clash lol

          Wouldn’t you run into the same issue though? Clash is online only. The tablets still get amber alerts on WiFi right?

              If you have no idea whether or not buying a tablet would fix this situation why did you tell people to buy a tablet? Isn’t that kind of weird?

                because a tablet doesn’t have a connection to a cellular network. I thought you were one of the people asking about sandboxing apps

                  Nope. The one asking how this fixes his alerts issue when mobile gaming requires an internet connection which is what started all this.

                    oh…well here in the US, those amber alerts are only on cellphones connected to mobile networks. A tablet that’s not on your mobile plan wouldn’t be connected to that alert system, especially if you use a good VPN like mullvad or proton.

          wdym everything on your phone is sandboxed by design, assuming you’re using android or ios

              android has user profiles (although most oems disable them in their custom roms), you can just create multiple users with completely separate app data.

              you can also create a single Work Profile for each user (which is available and works on basically all devices).

              Samsung also has a built-in sandbox feature (“Secure folder”)

              There are hundreds of apps that can create a virtualized sandboxes (by running apps within themselves and hooking into api calls)

              And of course apps can just be cloned by just patching them to change the app id.

                  yes, with all of these approaches except user profiles.
                  you can run instance installed in work profile at the same time as the main app
