Google Android 17 must be configured to disable Private Space use.

Private Space is an Android feature that provides a separate encrypted container on the mobile device. Apps in Private Space show up in a separate container in the launcher and are hidden from the "Recents" view, notifications, settings, and other apps when the private space is locked. In addition, an MDM server allow list or block list cannot control the installation of apps into Private Space. Malware and other unauthorized apps could be installed on a DoW mobile device, which could lead to the compromise of DoW sensitive information or to an attack on the DoW network.
