Android apps are already sandboxed. You don’t need to sandbox them further unless you’re giving them permissions to peek out of that sandbox.
Edit: Also would like to add x8 sandbox to the list. It emulates its own android instead of using profile management features like the other apps mentioned. Since it’s proprietary I wouldn’t trust it (and it does have a performance impact), but wanted to throw it out here.
This is partially true: Android does sandboxing, but it only gives you partial control over your apps. Firstly, certain permissions give a wider access than initially seems (e.g. media access). Secondly, not all permissions are user-manageable. For example: you cannot stop certain apps (like banking apps) to query the system for other apps you have installed.
