If you are an Android user, you can easily hide the apps you don’t want to bee seen by prying eyes. And you don’t need to use any 3rd party apps for this. Here’s how to do it:
There could be several reasons why someone might choose to hide apps on their home screen:
- Privacy: They may not want others to see what apps they’re using. For example, they might be using a dating app they don’t want friends or family to know about, or a health app that tracks sensitive information.
- Reducing Clutter: Some people download a lot of apps but only use a few on a regular basis. Hiding the less frequently used apps can help to keep the home screen organized and uncluttered.
- Minimizing Distractions: Certain apps, especially social media or games, can be very distracting. By hiding these apps, people can help to reduce their screen time and increase their productivity.
- Parental Control: Parents might hide certain apps from their children, either because they don’t want them to have access or because they want to keep some apps (like those for work or banking) separate.
- Security: If a device gets into the wrong hands, the person won’t be able to see what kind of apps the device owner has, potentially keeping sensitive information more secure.
Remember that hiding apps isn’t the same as deleting them or protecting them with a password, and the ability to do so may vary depending on the device and its operating system.
