You don’t need shelter. Create a multiple user account one just for that app… on GrapheneOS. It is totally isolated from the rest. You can use a vpn just in that user profile too

I'll throw in using a privacy respecting browser to access those websites
Nice, I just did that and that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks : )
User profiles are an Android feature, NOT a Graphene feature. You can use user profiles in any Android phone in the last 6-7 years.
Those guys r dicks. I posted a comment in there Lemmy community to share my honest opinion and it was removed. But I don't know why, who did that or even how find out.
if you're willing to go advanced for a bit of extra convenience, then install a mobile browser that has proxy support and proxify that web browser then dedicate the browser to the web version of whatever service you want to use.
Also a nice idea, thanks.
Android natively sandboxes, so that's already done. When you're already running Graphene there's no reason to further move them to other users, or profiles.
The obvious issue is you're still pushing data to data miners regardless, whether it's in your name or not, it's just as valuable to them.
