Pause the Work Profile on Android

Once you have enrolled in Venn on your Android device, you can start using Venn to securely access work apps, websites, and files on your mobile device from the Work Profile.

In cases when you are not working (such as a vacation or the weekend), you may want to temporarily disable your work apps and notifications in order to use your device without any work-related interruptions. Pausing the Work Profile can also preserve battery life and increase performance.
