Almost everything just works after installing sandboxed Google Play Services. For a few apps you have to tweak a setting to turn off some of GrapheneOS's exploit protections. But I've found very few that refuse to run, and nothing indispensable. If you don't like your main profile having Play Services you can set them up under a second profile or a private area and keep the apps that use them away from your main profile.

There was no work profile support when I last tried to convert. deal breaker, atm.

That has been working fine for years at this point.

me and the other folks trying to get this working disagree. there are several threads about it on the GOS forum.

Yeah, I was thinking of separate profiles in general, and had never encountered the concept of an employer controlled separate profile. When I needed a device for something work related, I usually got issued a phone.

Those were the days....I used to have a personal phone, corporate phone and a site phone! The multi phone inconvenience was real....

Lol, can see that. But there's been times I lugged around separate company and private laptops. Two phones is tame in comparison.
