Private Space on current Pixel builds is the first personal-phone feature that feels like a work profile without an IT admin. Apps in the space vanish from the main drawer until you unlock. Notifications can stay quiet. The files do not mix unless you copy them out.

It is not a second user. Shared storage still exists if you grant it. Screenshots of the main home will not show the hidden icons, which is the point.

Use it for the banking app and the work Slack you should not leave on the home grid. Do not use it as a kids profile. That is still a second user.

The setup takes a few minutes. The habit takes a week. After that, the main drawer looks like a phone again.
