Set Up a Separate Work Profile on Your Android Phone
Set Up a Separate Work Profile on Your Android Phone
在安卓手机上设置独立的工作资料
Our phones have become do-it-all gadgets. They enable us to keep in touch with one another, track how many steps we’re taking each day, snap photos of everything, and access the collective knowledge of humanity. All that universal functionality extends across both our work and personal lives. 我们的手机已经成为了“万能”设备。它们让我们能够保持联络、追踪每日步数、随时随地拍照，并获取人类积累的知识。所有这些通用功能都贯穿于我们的工作和个人生活之中。
The gadget that pings you on Slack when your colleague has a question is the same one that alerts you when your friend has just outscored you at Wordle. That blurring of boundaries can be a problem. 那个在同事提问时通过 Slack 向你发送提醒的设备，同时也是在你朋友 Wordle 游戏得分超过你时发出通知的设备。这种界限的模糊可能会带来困扰。
There is actually a solution to this, at least if you’re using an Android phone. Android supports the use of multiple profiles (based on Google accounts), so you can switch between two different ones as needed. The most obvious use case for this is to split up your work and personal usage. 实际上，这个问题是有解决方案的，至少如果你使用的是安卓手机的话。安卓系统支持使用多个资料（基于谷歌账号），因此你可以根据需要在这两个不同的资料间切换。最显而易见的用途就是将工作和个人使用场景分开。
It’s essentially like having two phones on the same physical device: The profile that’s active dictates the apps you can use, the notifications you see, the browsing history you can dig into, and the files you’ve got access to, all dictated by the Google account. 这本质上就像是在同一台物理设备上拥有两部手机：当前激活的资料决定了你可以使用的应用、看到的通知、可以查看的浏览历史以及能够访问的文件，所有这些都由对应的谷歌账号决定。
Note that while this feature has been around in Android for a long time and is available on many handsets (including Pixel phones), not every Android manufacturer has implemented it. It’s not available on Galaxy phones, for example, though Samsung does offer something similar with the Secure Folder. 请注意，虽然此功能在安卓系统中存在已久，且适用于许多机型（包括 Pixel 手机），但并非所有安卓制造商都实现了该功能。例如，Galaxy 手机就不支持此功能，不过三星通过“安全文件夹”（Secure Folder）提供了类似的功能。
Get Started
开始设置
To begin with, you’re going to need two Google accounts, but many of us already have a Google account managed by work anyway. If not, you can set up a new Google account, free of charge, to use as the basis of the work profile on your phone: Head to the Google account portal on the web, then click Create an account. 首先，你需要两个谷歌账号，但我们许多人已经拥有由公司管理的工作账号了。如果没有，你可以免费注册一个新的谷歌账号，作为手机工作资料的基础：前往网页版的谷歌账号门户，然后点击“创建账号”。
The details you’ll need to provide include a first name, your birthday, and a Gmail address you’d like to register to use with the account—this is what you’ll use to sign in to this account on your phone and on the web. You get some suggestions for an available address based on your name, but you can also come up with something custom as long as no one else has taken it first. 你需要提供的信息包括名字、生日以及你想要注册的 Gmail 地址——这将是你以后在手机和网页端登录该账号时使用的凭证。系统会根据你的名字提供一些可用地址建议，但你也可以自定义，只要该地址未被他人占用即可。
Once you’ve got a second account you can use, open Settings, then choose System > Users. Tap Add user, then Next, and you’re able to give a name to the second user account. With that done, select it from the Users screen, choose the Switch to… option, and you’ll be taken through the process of signing in to your secondary Google account. 一旦你拥有了第二个账号，请打开“设置”，然后选择“系统” > “多用户”。点击“添加用户”，然后点击“下一步”，你就可以为第二个用户账号命名。完成后，在“多用户”界面中选中它，选择“切换到…”选项，系统将引导你完成登录第二个谷歌账号的流程。
The setup process that follows is very similar to the one for setting up your phone in the first place. You can set a PIN code, a fingerprint scan, or a face scan (depending on the options your phone offers) to stop other people from accessing your account, and you will be asked to work through the various Android terms-and-conditions screens. 随后的设置过程与你最初设置手机时的过程非常相似。你可以设置 PIN 码、指纹扫描或面部扫描（取决于你的手机提供的选项）来防止他人访问你的账号，系统还会要求你阅读并同意各种安卓条款和条件界面。
Using Your Second Profile
使用你的第二个资料
After you’ve set up a second profile, you’ll be taken straight to it. It will make your phone look like a brand-new device, with the default home screen layout and wallpaper in place. Any configuration changes you’ve made to Android on your main account will have to be done on this secondary one too. 设置好第二个资料后，你会被直接带入该界面。它会让你的手机看起来像是一台全新的设备，采用默认的主屏幕布局和壁纸。你在主账号上对安卓系统所做的任何配置更改，也需要在第二个账号上重新进行。
There are a couple of ways to switch between profiles. You can head to Settings > System > Users and pick an account from the list, or you can do a two-finger swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings and tap the user account icon underneath the widgets (it’s just to the left of the settings cog icon). 在不同资料间切换有几种方法。你可以前往“设置” > “系统” > “多用户”并从列表中选择一个账号，或者用两根手指从屏幕顶部向下滑动打开“快捷设置”，然后点击小组件下方的用户账号图标（它就在设置齿轮图标的左侧）。
You’ll need to configure all of your apps again on this secondary account—which is the point of the extra profile, after all. Open up Google Photos, for example, and you’ll be prompted to go through the process of choosing your backup options again. You’ll also need to install the apps you need on this secondary account, which can be a different set from those on your other profile. 你需要在第二个账号上重新配置所有的应用——毕竟这正是额外资料存在的意义。例如，打开 Google 相册，系统会提示你重新选择备份选项。你还需要在第二个账号上安装所需的应用程序，这些应用可以与你另一个资料中的应用完全不同。
Some parts of the Android experience are shared between profiles, including Wi-Fi network information. However, you won’t be able to see saved files or apps in your second profile from your original one (or vice versa). You might want to install a third-party cloud storage app if you need to share files between accounts regularly. 安卓体验的某些部分在不同资料间是共享的，包括 Wi-Fi 网络信息。但是，你无法在原始资料中查看第二个资料里保存的文件或应用（反之亦然）。如果你需要经常在两个账号间共享文件，可能需要安装一个第三方云存储应用。
On the Settings > System > Users screen for your primary account, you’ll see an Allow user switch option: You can turn this off if you want to temporarily disable user switching (it removes the icon on Quick Settings, for example), but it won’t remove the second account from your phone. To do that, select it on the Users screen and pick Delete user. 在主账号的“设置” > “系统” > “多用户”界面中，你会看到“允许切换用户”选项：如果你想暂时禁用用户切换功能（例如，它会移除“快捷设置”中的图标），可以将其关闭，但这不会从手机中删除第二个账号。若要删除账号，请在“多用户”界面中选中它，然后选择“删除用户”。
