Google umbrella accounts, multiple users, data segregation, google photos, Windows11, and chromeOS

DAE have 2 main umbrella google accounts for themselves that they actively avoid logging in to one when they're logged into the other?

for example.

Google Umbrella Account A + a few google accounts

Google Umbrella Account B + a few google accounts

inside Google Umbrella Account A, i login to accounts that appropriate to be logged into for the google umbrella account A.

inside Google Umbrella Account B, i login to the accounts that are appropriate to be logged into that umbrella account

On my google operating systems, such as android and chromeOS, I maintain multiple users, and login to those accounts inside the separate users.

does anyone else do this?

an issue I have dealing with these umbrella accounts though is that on google operating systems, it feels a little more of a chore for data segregation between the two accounts, whereas, on a windows computer, while i do have 2 separate users, I *can* , *I think* *relatively* comfortably login to Umbrella Account A as a chrome profile while signed into the windows account thats made to be the "B-esque" user profile for the Umbrella Google Account B. the reason is that, logging into a chrome profile on windows, its not going to attach that profile to other google services, because its a windows computer. but on a google OS like chromeOS or android, it *is* possible that it would attach that profile to other google services like google photos, etc...I like google photos and what it does, but, ... somehow, is my situation too much of a niche setup that nobody else cares about this or am i the only one or is anyone else have a similar setup with regards to their web based digital footprints

now i need to think of some hashtags, or if i want to add hashtags to this post.

"Apple's Privacy Team Does Deep Dive Into iOS 18 Privacy Features"

alright. Can we get multiple user profiles for completely separate user spaces ?

Could we get private space on chromeOS? Thanks

draft - Ok. Can we get multiple user profiles for completely separate spaces like stock android has had for a decade

draft - Google pixel, thank you for giving us multiple user profiles for completely separate spaces. One thing that might be nice is, if we do enable sms, could you better support that across multiple users? The data doesn't seem to sync up exactly. What would it take to fix that?

"5 One UI features I'd like to see on Pixel phones
They could turn Google's Pixel into the ultimate Android device."

draft - I'd also like the dual camera function that Samsung camera used to have where the photographer could activate *both* cameras when taking photos and videos to include the subjects *and* themselves in the photographs

Alternatively, one thing I'd like to see on Samsung phones would be multiple profiles, multiple user profiles, multiple users, whatever you wanna call it, you know what I'm talking about. It's built into stock android and works really well. I like to use *both* multiple users *and* private space. So that way, when I'm using userB, I can login to userA apps without having to worry about potential cross-account data leakage via Google apps etc, like google photos and such.

Idea - Google apps with sandboxed login on Android (for example, sign into Gmail, but check a box preventing the system from logging in to all the other apps like Google photos, for example).

abstract / draft / concept - Another Google app that could benefit from a "sandboxed login, separated / segregated from other Google apps" on android might be Gemini.

fictional observer: why?

Me: why? Well, because multiple user profiles

fo: multiple user profiles?

Me: yeah. Like on my android phone, I have a "main profile" and then I log out of that some times and login to a profile that's more designed for like, it's like an "alt user account" where things like ...

Fo: what

Me: I don't really want to say exactly

Fo: why

Me: because I don't want the narrative to sound dumb

Fo: is there a way you can explain why you want to discuss multiple user profiles and sound more legit ?

Me: sure. Ok. I'll give an example. Let's say a person has their work user account as a separate / segregated user account separated from their more personal user account etc...

Fo: ok that's reasonable right?

Me: yeah. Ok. So let's say that's the case, which is similar to my case, just not exactly.

Fo : ok

Me: so, yeah, one might want to be able to login to a *few* Google services from their "work" profile and vice versa, while not having android/ChromeOS auto login to all the other Google apps. So far, the three top apps that I'd want an ability to login "without signing in to other Google apps" would be:

1. Google chat
2. Gmail
3. Gemini

Google chat I used to communicate with family. That is the most important to me. It's like a web based sms replacement that's better than sms and email in multiple ways. It's got an edit button that works forever so users can completely control their digital footprint. Unlike emails and SMS which set everything in stone. Even then 15 minutes RCS gives is the same as no edit button. Any edit button that doesn't work forever is not worth it.

Fo: ok. But nobody uses multiple profiles except you.

Me: is that true?

Fo: I don't know.

Me: well, can you be more on my side and help me to make it so that I'm not the only one?

Fo: well you might not be the only one. But you may be, I'd assume, for lack of public data on this situation, let's say like 10 percent of people use multiple user profiles on phones.

Me: 10 percent is good. That's enough to be like “a thing”.

Fo: a thing?

Me: yeah like, growing up, I think i read that 10 percent of the population was xyz

Fo: xyz?

Me: I'm not gonna get into it, if that's ok

Fo: um…ok?

Me: let's just say, the xyz people, 10 percent is a pretty big number when you think what is 10 percent of 8 billion people. 800 million. So I'm gonna say 800 million people use multiple user profiles. And even if it *was* “only” half of that, that's still 400 million. That's bigger than the population of some of the top ten countries on earth. So, multiple user profiles, and safeguards for properly segregating/separating data between those profiles and allowing people to sign in to Google apps in a sandboxed manner that doesn't automatically log them into Google photos, for example, which could potentially be more…

Fo: what

Me: potentially like, …

Fo: what

Me: just like, I want the ability for certain Google apps to not automatically login across the system. This could be like and android15 feature. I guess they themselves (Google) don't have to market it, but, once it's live, once the feature/function is live, I think it would speak for itself and people would use it and show it off on social media/Twitter/ etc like how apple didn't advertise the Apple pencil shadow effect, but they made it anyway, and then social media channels highlighted the coolness of the function. Just like this security function could be a pretty cool solution to an ongoing issue with Android and Google apps.

Fo: ok.

Me: I mean, I think it kinda deserves more than just an “ok”.

Fo: well, what do you want me to say

Me: just, I don't know right now. I'm going to post this on mastodon, maybe blogger etc… hopefully enough folks will see it and agree with it and hopefully it will happen. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
