This just seperates it into a secondary profile but all apps in your main profile are already sandboxed as well the only apps that are not sandboxed are system apps such as Play services. But you could use the app in a work profile(shelter) under a seperate Google account that would add a bit more anonymity. But android default app sandbox could be more secure there are other custom ROMs that do just that making the regular app sandbox even more secure.

Here is more information on how each android app is sandboxed(except Play Services)

I use this on my pixel with Graphene OS and it works great once I completely degoogoled my entire phone my spam calls and text pretty much all went away.

Been using Linux for 15 years now since I turned 11 haven't touched Windows and it was the best decision I ever made. I remember in 2009 I got world of Warcraft running under wine and that was hard. But the bottom cast bar was invisible and just had to remember your key bindings but it worked. (It was Ubuntu 9.10)

Glad I switched from iOS to Graphene OS and no Google all Open Source.

Could always search and see if there are any builds for it many open source router firmware out there. OpenWrt, DD-WRT is where I would start looking.

No there would be no blocking the would just shut it down but the could sanction any company that violates the ban that's about it for enforcement. But a VPN to another country would bypass it but it would not be US version of tiktok.

The apps would be delisted from all App stores and then tiktok said the would have to shut down the US Servers.

No my bank app doesn't even use Google Play in anyway depends on the bank.

Is this available any where else other than Google Play? I don't have any play services or play store on my phone and rightfully won't ever again.

You have to disable Play Protect it now blocks unknown apks on android 15 and higher most users will give up only tech inclined users will most likely pursue that cource.

Glad I use GrapheneOS and don't use any Google apps or services anymore it's amazing how I no longer get spam calls and texts since the switch.

I mean you should expect this from any play store version of a app.
