that's why you get a tablet to play games on and then use your phone as a communication device.
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
well there's no way to sandbox things on mobile a mobile OS
Wouldn't you run into the same issue though? Clash is online only. The tablets still get amber alerts on WiFi right?
I don't know...I don't really use my phone for anything besides communication.
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.
again, sorry all the usernames on here blur together for me
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.

This and many other sources say they do. Of course its easy to turn off, just a few clicks. Not something you need to fix with a VPN and sure as hell not something id suggest buying a whole new device to avoid.
I've only ever had those alerts on cellphones I've owned, never on any of the android tablets I've ever had.
Wacky.
And truly compelling evidence of the absolute inability for it to occur at all, ever, in this reality. 👀
This thread has definitely been weird ill say that lol
TIL about Amber alert. Wth, How many children are going missing over there?
You guys don't have anything like that? I mean it's not really a matter of how many... Which yeah we probably have more than average... But I figured most countries had some kind of alert system to try to help track down kidnapped children
Nah we don't,
There would be one every minute here in India
ohgods. 🤢😢
Lol fair
wdym everything on your phone is sandboxed by design, assuming you're using android or ios
But you can't run multiple of the same app in separate sandboxes.
How hard have you tried to do so, is the question.
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.
can you run multiple of the same app at the same time with that configuration?
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
