Afterwards, the clone can run parallel aside from the original one. Island takes advantage of the “managed profile” feature on Android 5.0+, which is also the base of “Android for Work”, to create an isolated sandbox for apps with their data.Īpp needs to be cloned in Island first. Isolated app can be frozen on demand, with launcher icon vanish and its background behaviors completely blocked. Device-bound data (SMS, IMEI and etc) is still accessible.

“Island” is a sandbox environment to clone selected apps and isolate them from accessing your personal data outside the sandbox (including call logs, contacts, photos and etc) even if related permissions are granted.
