This is an awesome useful tool, i have been using it for years, a separate dual WhatsApp, separate mail, bank apps, personal docs, emails, mainly a vault that has all my confidential accounts and data and photos. You can even customize the folder and rename it to look like a book or anything unsuspicious, superbly helpful
