    It’s not private if it requires a Google account to use the feature. Edit: apparently you do not need a google account to use the feature, if so then I just hope it makes it into AOSP so we can use it on custom roms.

      Oh for fucks sake - Google!

      Seriously??

      Hypocrisy at its finest.

      But then again, after the 2 seconds of rant, that was expected.

      Android is getting more and more “private” while all data is tunneled to Google itself. They are just liquidating the competition.

      You don’t need a Google account to use either Private or Work space, and Google recommends using an alternative account to your main one.

      You need the G account to be able to install apps from Play Store, I don’t believe the private space itself requires it.

      Not sure if there’s some Play “integrity check” on stock ROMs, but on GOS I was able to create the private space and download&install F-droid or other APKs just fine, without a Google account.
