Although there are many reasons to keep apps hidden from the public eye on smartphones, including financial security, careless handling, prying eyes, and other reasons, the truth is that doing so can help protect your private and sensitive data.
Even though you can always lock apps on Android, people can still view them. For this reason, you might want to consider hiding some apps, such as social media, banking, dating, and other apps. If you’ve been considering how to hide apps on Android, these are the most recent techniques.
1~ First install Parallel Space app on the Android device. Once installed, open the app and hit the plus icon and select incognito installation
2 You can search for an app to install or try one of the suggested programs from the Parallel Space once the “Incognito installation” page opens. To continue, tap the app you wish to install.
3~ The program you wish to install will launch in the Google Play Store. Once you click the install button, the program will download and install.
4 The application will be installed both in Parallel Space and on your device.
5~ Now the app will prompt you to uninstall the app you just installed from the home screen to make the app only available through Parallel Space. No need to go to the home screen though, as the app itself offers the “Uninstall” button. Tap on it to uninstall the app.
6~ Then, the app will longer be available on your device. Instead, it will be only available through Parallel Space.
7~Once done, tap the three-dot menu button in the main page of the app and set a pattern password to make sure that the app cannot be accessed by any third-party.
