Work folder / Work section
Add a work section or folder that contains all apps from a work profile.
These apps should only be shown if the work profile is enabled.
We are currently experimenting with a separate section for work apps in the all-apps list.
Users have responded to our question about how many work apps they have and regularly use. If you want to help us out, please add your number as a comment below.

I have 28 work apps, this is really the only thing keeping me from having Niagara as my daily driver

Would it be possible to add other apps to the “work profile folder"? I have some apps I use for work related purposes that are not in the work profile (the profile is controlled by my employer — so I can't just install them on the other side). It would be nice to bundle those into the work folder as well so it's neatly hidden away once I sign off for the day

I have just 6 work apps, this is why it is very important to have them separately at one place. They are just lost in side my regular 50+ apps.

Yes, something in this direction would be great.
In my mind, extending the concept of conditional favorites would make a lot of sense. We already have the concept of Music Apps, a group of apps that show when headphones are connected. What if there were other groups based on other conditions? My initial thought is a "Work Profile" apps list. These would only appear when the Android Work Profile is enabled, otherwise they'd be hidden.
To extend the concept further in the future, I can imagine other conditions making sense for other uses as well. Maybe a set of apps show when connected to a specific wifi network, or some apps show when charging, etc.
I use half a dozen or so work apps regularly, but I have >20 work apps installed.

Yes same for me, around 3 or 4 used regularly with 20 or so installed. I could see another use for conditional favourites on a foldable device where extra favourites were shown when the device is unfolded.

We already have this for Private space. I think it would be pretty easy to have a little briefcase or another icon like the private space icon holding all your work icons.
Right now I have to get around this by making a folder on the fave menu called work. But then I still have douplicate entries in my main list for the work and owner profile version of apps. :-(

I have 9 work apps. Right now I have Microsoft teams as an app on my home screen with pop up with other work apps.
I'd really like to hide the teams icon from my favorites either on a schedule or when work apps is disabled in Android.
A more broad approach maybe would be to have the ability to have two sets of favorites, and have them switch on a set schedule.
This would really level up this launcher. Thanks!

Agree with this comment. Two favourite lists that switch would be ideal.
