For Android I can recommend "Shelter"[1] which lets you setup a work profile, so you dont have to share your contacts, files, etc.. Downside: If you have already a work profile, it does not work (Android allows only one work profile)

nice find.

is there a list of known existing "big brother" apps ? or is it just as good to look at app permissions to figure this out ?
