Hide apps on your Samsung Android phone
To start hiding apps, go to your Galaxy phone’s home screen. There, tap and hold any empty space. In the menu that opens, tap “Settings”.
When the Settings page opens, scroll down and tap “Hide app”.
You will see a “Select App” screen. Here, choose the apps you want to hide by tapping them. Once you’ve made your selections, tap “Done”.
And this is all. The chosen apps are now hidden.
Later, you can show your apps by accessing the same “Hide apps” menu, selecting your hidden apps and choosing “Done”.
That’s all there is to it.
For even more privacy when sharing your phone with others, try blocking an app on your Android device.
