WTH is "workspace"?

[Ryano89]

Does anybody know what this is? I'm just curious, the other day it was using enough ram to show up on my device maintenance screen but I have zero clue what it is.

Is your phone provided by your IT department? I believe it is part of Knox.

It's not provided by an IT department. I've read that it is part of Knox, its been on my phone since launch day, but it's not in the app drawer, and I had never seen it actually show up in ram or battery usage before until the Oreo update. No big deal, Iwas just curious why all of the sudden it was using memory. I do not have secure folder enabled, and I had always just assumed it was associated with that.

Do you use the Secure Folder? If so, that's used for that also.
