I'm non-techy. I work for a public school district and visit with kids in about a dozen schools. I like having my work email on my phone so teachers can get in touch if they need me. For years we've just used the outlook app with no real issues that I've noticed. We're seeing more and more micromanagement and it sucks. We recently got notice that we have to install Cisco Duo on our phones if we want to have our email on it. Should i do that? Or just say no and be ok with being out of contact?

FYI there is also "Island" (white triangles on blue yellow background) on the Google Play Store which does similar if you don't want to bother with FDroid.

I use it for isolating work apps, only oddity is having to install a second instance of my favourite keyboard and browser app, and if I want to attach a photo to say Teams, the file picker will show nothing until you switch it to browse personal files.
