Each of us has our secrets. In order not to worry when your smartphone falls into the wrong hands, you can make private any files and applications. The methods described in this article do not require root rights.
How to hide Apps on Android?
The easiest way available to every owner of an Android smartphone is to create a guest account. Open in the "Settings" section "System" - "Users". Here you can create a guest account. When adding, select "Add with restricted access."
There is a second way: swipe down on the desktop. In the notification panel, click on the avatar. 3 icons will appear. Click on Add Guest. If you select the “permanent” option, then all data will be saved in your account.
This is a useful feature, for example, for parents who give their child a smartphone. The account of the new guest will be automatically cleared.
You can hide individual folders by renaming them. Suppose you want to make sure that another person cannot find some photos on your phone. Open the file manager, select the desired folder and put a dot in front of the name. For example, it was " DR ", but should be " .DR ". Now the selected images are not displayed in the gallery.
To view hidden files, open the manager’s settings and activate the “Show Hide” switch. This method cannot be called particularly reliable, since many know about it.
