On every single Android Phone I used so far, it was possible to schedule turning off the Work Profile (or Work Apps as Samsung calls the toggle). On my previous 3 phones it was done through Digital Wellbeing, following this guide:

https://support.google.com/work/android/answer/7029561?hl=en

However, this feature is not available on the Samsung version of "Digital Wellbeing".

It is also completely impossible to schedule turning on or off the Work Profile using the various routines and other actions, even with the Routines+ module from GoodLock.

I think it's very important to add this feature, especially considering there is an Enterprise Edition of the S25 series, and it should be possible for the user to schedule the Work Profile.

Personally, I think this feature is mandatory because I don't want to turn it on\off manually, that would mean risking losing important notification if I don't turn it on and an important work notification arrives, and losing my sanity if I don't turn it off before the weekend.
As a matter of fact, the lack of a way to schedule the work profile is a dealbreaker for me as this is supposed to be my daily driver, work and personal phone. I am seriously considering returning or reselling the phone over this. It is VERY important for me to have this feature.

Hi @MRK0017 ,  Cheers! I've forwarded this as a suggestion to our R&D team. Me or one of the other Mods will let you know what the developers get back to us with when they do.

You can pre order the S25 Enterprise Edition right now which is almost like the normal S25ultra is apart from some specs difference 🤔

I found a partial workaround but it only works in Teams+Outlook. Not enough but at least I won't get email notifications! Other apps don't have this option built in so they will still send notifications. Hopefully Samsung will add it, but after googling a bit on the issue, it seems like users started reporting on this YEARS ago 😐

+1000000. I've owned a S23 Plus, S24 Ultra, and now the S25 Ultra. I am disappointed that Work Profile automation is STILL not supported. This should've been supported way earlier.

Me and lots and lots of others want this too. Just a quick Google search and I found these two massive threads about it going back years. More too, I just can't be bothered to link more if it's going to be like all the other threads that go nowhere.

Really disappointed that it is not available in S25 Ultra. I had it in my 24 Ultra was for me it was obvious that it would be available in the next version as well.

I just upgraded to one UI 7 on my s24 ultra and I'm really disappointed that this feature still does not exist on Samsung phones. Very frustrating as a customer.
