After some recommendations for an app to create two "accounts" on my phone, something a bit like Samsung Knox but I don't have a Samsung.

Sort of thing that lets you run two Whatsapp/Facebook/Instagram/etc/etc accounts, have two lots of contacts, call histories and so on but hidden from each other and preferably hidden from being accessed easily. Obviously protected via a password etc.

And no I'm not having an affair, just want to separate work stuff from home stuff (honest).

Thanks.

I use Parallel Space to install a second copy of Whatsapp & the like but it still only allows a common contacts list.

Android does this out of the box. Well it's simple on Google's own Nexus/Pixel devices anyway.

Setup two separate user accounts, switchable from the quick settings toggle in android.
Use a separate google account for each user profile. Configure settings and accounts etc to your heart's desire in each user profile.
Do you have two phone numbers for Whatsapp ?
