What is an Android Work Profile?

Go to Settings Passwords and accounts. If you have a Work Profile, you will see a work tab with Work Profile settings listed underneath. Work profile settings are also searchable in your device’s main Settings on Android 14 or later.

Work apps are marked with a briefcase icon so you can distinguish them from personal apps. To access your work apps:

1. Swipe up from the bottom of your screen to the top.
2. Tap the "Work" tab.
3. Tap the app that you want to open.

If your work app icons are gray, your work profile may be paused. Learn how to pause or turn on your work profile.

You can only delete your Work Profile if you personally own your device or your organization relinquishes ownership of a company-owned device to you. To delete your Work Profile:

1. Go to Settings Passwords and accounts Tap the Work tab Remove Work Profile.
2. Tap Delete to confirm the removal of all apps and data within your Work Profile.
3. Ensure that the policy app ("Device Policy") is uninstalled and not present on your device.

After the Work Profile is deleted, all local data on the device within that profile is deleted.

You can also remove all apps and data (both personal and work) by factory-resetting your device.
