About this app

App information
Designed for enterprises that need to protect sensitive work data, Knox Separated Apps allows IT admins to separate third-party apps from corporate apps on fully managed devices.
“"IT admins use Separated Apps to isolate apps on managed devices. This app isn’t intended for personal use."

How it works
- After an enterprise IT admin installs work apps on fully managed devices through a UEM, they can enable Separated Apps and select certain apps to install in the secure, separate area.
- By default, the following apps are available in the Separated Apps area.
.Google Chrome
.Microsoft Office (depending on the device model)
.Samsung Calendar
.Samsung Camera
.Samsung Gallery
.Samsung MyFiles
.Samsung Video

For more details, see the Knox SDK documentation.

Ratings and reviews

If you want results on issues like this, get the media involved. Start with local news outlets if you have to. Like most people on here, I stumbled on this while performing updates to my Galaxy S23 Ultra. This isn't something I was ever notified about and as soon as I saw it on the update list, I stopped it and unchecked the box for automatic updates for it. Seriously... someone needs to get media involved....

Let me understand this better, could a person use this that has had your phone before? I guess I'm just wondering why this is something AUTOMATIC to have, specifically for only one of my Google profiles but not on the other 2. Also, it's not the profile that runs my phone. It's odd that someone else can have control of your things without you knowing it. Then, they can change the name to ANYTHING they want so, it can look like something different.🤔

Separated Apps works in tandem with Knox Security. It states it's not for personal use, but for the IT administrators. It's a special App to partition Samsung Apps & any others placed into App/Folder to provide an extra layer of security. If your phone is infected, those folders inside of this App would be secure and unaffected. Does this give them full access to all of our personal data? Who is in final control of our data? Is this right? Will IT please answer us this? Thank you. 👀
