Google umbrella accounts, multiple users, data segregation, google photos, Windows11, and chromeOS

DAE have 2 main umbrella google accounts for themselves that they actively avoid logging in to one when they're logged into the other?

for example.

Google Umbrella Account A + a few google accounts

Google Umbrella Account B + a few google accounts

inside Google Umbrella Account A, i login to accounts that appropriate to be logged into for the google umbrella account A.

inside Google Umbrella Account B, i login to the accounts that are appropriate to be logged into that umbrella account

On my google operating systems, such as android and chromeOS, I maintain multiple users, and login to those accounts inside the separate users.

does anyone else do this?

an issue I have dealing with these umbrella accounts though is that on google operating systems, it feels a little more of a chore for data segregation between the two accounts, whereas, on a windows computer, while i do have 2 separate users, I *can* , *I think* *relatively* comfortably login to Umbrella Account A as a chrome profile while signed into the windows account thats made to be the "B-esque" user profile for the Umbrella Google Account B. the reason is that, logging into a chrome profile on windows, its not going to attach that profile to other google services, because its a windows computer. but on a google OS like chromeOS or android, it *is* possible that it would attach that profile to other google services like google photos, etc...I like google photos and what it does, but, ... somehow, is my situation too much of a niche setup that nobody else cares about this or am i the only one or is anyone else have a similar setup with regards to their web based digital footprints

now i need to think of some hashtags, or if i want to add hashtags to this post.

draft - Google pixel, thank you for giving us multiple user profiles for completely separate spaces. One thing that might be nice is, if we do enable sms, could you better support that across multiple users? The data doesn't seem to sync up exactly. What would it take to fix that?

They could turn Google's Pixel into the ultimate Android device."

draft - I'd also like the dual camera function that Samsung camera used to have where the photographer could activate *both* cameras when taking photos and videos to include the subjects *and* themselves in the photographs

Alternatively, one thing I'd like to see on Samsung phones would be multiple profiles, multiple user profiles, multiple users, whatever you wanna call it, you know what I'm talking about. It's built into stock android and works really well. I like to use *both* multiple users *and* private space. So that way, when I'm using userB, I can login to userA apps without having to worry about potential cross-account data leakage via Google apps etc, like google photos and such.

Draft - smartest tablet choices ive made:

10 inch Samsung tablet, glass screen protector, shockproof case. Supports Google Play store for all Google apps like Google docs, Google photos etc, supports multiple user profiles if it comes to that. Makes a good kitchen tablet. 10 inch screen works good for reading and almost large enough for print edition newspaper apps. Readly magazine app works well as a killer app for the form factor.

draft - stupidest tablet choices ive made

Spending $60 on kindle fire tablet. No matter the size. It doesn't support Google apps. The one I got was 8 inch but even a 10 inch version is bad with no Google play support...

Another stupid thing

Missing out on sending Google my drawer laden iPad 6th Gen to get a free pixel tablet.

Idea - Google apps with sandboxed login on Android (for example, sign into Gmail, but check a box preventing the system from logging in to all the other apps like Google photos, for example).

abstract / draft / concept - Another Google app that could benefit from a "sandboxed login, separated / segregated from other Google apps" on android might be Gemini.

fictional observer: why?

Me: why? Well, because multiple user profiles

fo: multiple user profiles?

Me: yeah. Like on my android phone, I have a "main profile" and then I log out of that some times and login to a profile that's more designed for like, it's like an "alt user account" where things like ...

Fo: what

Me: I don't really want to say exactly

Fo: why

Me: because I don't want the narrative to sound dumb

Fo: is there a way you can explain why you want to discuss multiple user profiles and sound more legit ?

Me: sure. Ok. I'll give an example. Let's say a person has their work user account as a separate / segregated user account separated from their more personal user account etc...

Fo: ok that's reasonable right?

Me: yeah. Ok. So let's say that's the case, which is similar to my case, just not exactly.

Fo : ok

Me: so, yeah, one might want to be able to login to a *few* Google services from their "work" profile and vice versa, while not having android/ChromeOS auto login to all the other Google apps. So far, the three top apps that I'd want an ability to login "without signing in to other Google apps" would be:

1. Google chat
2. Gmail
3. Gemini

Google chat I used to communicate with family. That is the most important to me. It's like a web based sms replacement that's better than sms and email in multiple ways. It's got an edit button that works forever so users can completely control their digital footprint. Unlike emails and SMS which set everything in stone. Even then 15 minutes RCS gives is the same as no edit button. Any edit button that doesn't work forever is not worth it.

Fo: ok. But nobody uses multiple profiles except you.

Me: is that true?

Fo: I don't know.

Me: well, can you be more on my side and help me to make it so that I'm not the only one?

Fo: well you might not be the only one. But you may be, I'd assume, for lack of public data on this situation, let's say like 10 percent of people use multiple user profiles on phones.

Me: 10 percent is good. That's enough to be like “a thing”.

Fo: a thing?

Me: yeah like, growing up, I think i read that 10 percent of the population was xyz

Fo: xyz?

Me: I'm not gonna get into it, if that's ok

Fo: um…ok?

Me: let's just say, the xyz people, 10 percent is a pretty big number when you think what is 10 percent of 8 billion people. 800 million. So I'm gonna say 800 million people use multiple user profiles. And even if it *was* “only” half of that, that's still 400 million. That's bigger than the population of some of the top ten countries on earth. So, multiple user profiles, and safeguards for properly segregating/separating data between those profiles and allowing people to sign in to Google apps in a sandboxed manner that doesn't automatically log them into Google photos, for example, which could potentially be more…

Fo: what

Me: potentially like, …

Fo: what

Me: just like, I want the ability for certain Google apps to not automatically login across the system. This could be like and android15 feature. I guess they themselves (Google) don't have to market it, but, once it's live, once the feature/function is live, I think it would speak for itself and people would use it and show it off on social media/Twitter/ etc like how apple didn't advertise the Apple pencil shadow effect, but they made it anyway, and then social media channels highlighted the coolness of the function. Just like this security function could be a pretty cool solution to an ongoing issue with Android and Google apps.

Fo: ok.

Me: I mean, I think it kinda deserves more than just an “ok”.

Fo: well, what do you want me to say

Me: just, I don't know right now. I'm going to post this on mastodon, maybe blogger etc… hopefully enough folks will see it and agree with it and hopefully it will happen. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

In android, logging into one Google app will login to all Google apps. This is probably good for 70 percent of the population. However, for the other 30 percent, for folks who may want some level of data segregation, the ability to only login to one Google app at a time would be appreciated.

That's why I thought that maybe Google, in their signin process for any given Google app could add a prompt with a checkbox that says something to the effect of:

"do not use this Google account for other Google apps on this device - (require another login prompt for this Google account on other Google apps)"

Or

"Sign in to only one Google app at a time".

And actually, now that I think about it, this could be a system level setting inside the settings app maybe.

So you could goto settings to manage this functionality as well.

Maybe, if you don't want to bring that dialog to *all* Google app logins, you could start with a few: here are the ones I'd suggest

1. Google chat

Id start with Google chat because it's the most "social" thing Google has going on. With its gracious ability for the ability to edit messages and such, it's a worry free method of communication between friends and family.

Other Google apps could have it or all Google apps could have it, but if Google is somehow afraid of making it present across all apps, I'd suggest starting with Google chat.

android apps and the ability to login to one google app at a time on android with a checkbox to disable automatically logging into the other apps. you could even hide it behind a "more options" function so that novice users don't have to see it right up front, if that's the issue

draft - google, thank you for last summer's google chat update. really like the control I feel I have over my digital footprint with the forever edit button.

Can we also get a function in android where, when signing into an app like google chat, whereby, in the sign in screen, there'd be a checkbox that says something like "only sign into this app with this google account (do not sign into other google apps with this google account.) or something to that effect? that way, when using google chat on multiple profiles, it would solve the desire for data segregation. i know it's possible that its a niche issue, but I still think its an issue that could be addressed, and if you address it, we would be thankful.

also, could we get voice messages for everyone? but please bring the ability to login to *one app at a time* with a google account on android first. make that a priority as that's more of a "backbone" functionality to the service, as, even if/when we get voice messages, the inability to only log into the google chat app by itself, that kinda concerns me for certain use cases. thank you for understanding, and thank you devs for the work that you do.

oh and another question - could you bring us the ability to edit images in sent messages? we can currently delete images from sent messages, but going along with the forever edit button, could you bring us the ability to add images to sent messages as well?

but please bring the ability to login to *one app at a time* with a google account on android the priority. make that a priority as that's more of a "backbone" functionality to the service, as, even if/when we get the ability to add/edit images in sent messages, the inability to only log into the google chat app by itself, that kinda concerns me for certain use cases. thank you for understanding, and thank you devs for the work that you do.

draft - dae out there use multiple user profiles on their phone? Am I the only one ? Dae stan for multiple user profiles and data segregation on their phone? Considering the function is only available on stock Android, itd have to be pixel users or moto users, along with maybe OnePlus, and who else. It would not include apple or Samsung only users because iOS and the Samsung fork of android don't allow multiple user profiles. It's the reason I switched to pixel. I used to be on Samsung. And when there was a deal for a moto phone a few years ago I got that. I think it was the moto g5 or moto G7 or something. They have multiple user profiles as a they run a pretty clean version of stock Android. Was a little annoying that the phones were so big, to the point where I'd wanna bring a different device with me into work just so I'd have a more pocketable device. Was also annoying they didn't support nfc/contactless payments.

xpost - draft - why can't Spotify be programmed to "sense" multiple user profiles on Android so that

I wouldn't consider Spotify a "sensitive" app when doing something like using it's data among multiple user profiles.

Just to clarify, some apps, I *would* consider sensitive, and their data across multiple user profiles *should not* be shared. For example, Google photos.

A big reason for using multiple user profiles is for data segregation is to segregate/separate data between work/personal/chat/dating profiles etc. So, while Spotify wouldn't contain sensitive data, like, if the user *chooses* to sign into the same Spotify account across multiple user profiles on Android, there should be a Spotify setting that says "multiple user profiles" and "share data across this phones multiple user profiles if used with the same Spotify accounts so that downloaded playlists and podcast can be synced across the user profiles so that you don't have to waste data streaming already downloaded playlists or time redownloading already downloaded playlists.

What would be needed for this to come to fruition? An android API? Is it something that Google themselves would need to build into the multiuser function of android so that third party developers like Spotify could add the functionality of recognizing when a user wants to use an apps data in a multiuser setup if logged into the same Spotify account.
