How much privacy would i be sacrificing to have my work email on my personal phone? (lemmy.world)

I'm non-techy. I work for a public school district and visit with kids in about a dozen schools. I like having my work email on my phone so teachers can get in touch if they need me. For years we've just used the outlook app with no real issues that I've noticed. We're seeing more and more micromanagement and it sucks. We recently got notice that we have to install Cisco Duo on our phones if we want to have our email on it. Should i do that? Or just say no and be ok with being out of contact?

Thank you! Thank you!! I'm on a pixel 7. I looked last night and saw that i can set my phone to have multiple users or guest. I think i used f-droid for Lemmy apps last year. I'll work on shelter today. I think we have until the end of the month before they start requiring Cisco duo. One other thing- as a public school district we're subject to open records requests. As i understand it, we can be required to share any device we've used for work. I wonder if having two profiles would limit what i would have to share to only the work profile

FYI there is also "Island" (white triangles on blue yellow background) on the Google Play Store which does similar if you don't want to bother with FDroid.

I use it for isolating work apps, only oddity is having to install a second instance of my favourite keyboard and browser app, and if I want to attach a photo to say Teams, the file picker will show nothing until you switch it to browse personal files.

On pixel it should just be in multi User setting, but you will have to search for it in the settings search

You are welcome!

Yepp multiple users is a whole different but also great area.

Using the work apps feature thingy you wont have to switch profiles and push messages are more readily available (not as much delayed as if you chose to use a guest profile).
