This article explains how Android Work Profiles are used to separate work and personal data, and provides instructions for accessing work apps and setting up fingerprint authentication within the Work Profile.


Android devices support a Work Profile and a Personal Profile to separate work apps and data from personal apps and data. Beyond Identity uses the Work Profile to store biometric and autofill information for your work apps and work data.

Important: Information from personal apps, data, and usage is stored in your Personal Profile and cannot be accessed by your organization.

Viewing apps in your Work Profile

You can access your Work Profile and any apps installed on it from the Apps screen.
