Yes that's a great idea! I will do that, thank you.
Update: WhatsApp just didn't want to open whilst in a work environment set up by shelter. Don't know why. It just hung for a few mins then crashed. Shame! But I think I'll go with the other suggestion of a Matrix server
I don't know if it works the same way on calyx or stock Android, but GrapheneOS lets you have an entirely separate work profile. You could install WhatsApp (and any other work stuff) on that and have it as isolated as possible from your own stuff.
Yeah that's what I did but it just didn't want to work. Never mind!
Ah shame. Maybe it needs Play Services (or something to spoof them like MicroG) in the work profile?
