Our smartphone contains a variety of applications that we use for different purposes. But not all apps are made to be visible to everyone who uses our phones. Therefore, in order to have some privacy, we hide those applications.

No matter if you have some pictures on your phone’s Gallery that you want to hide from your family, apps that aren’t child-friendly enough for your kids, dating apps that you can’t show, or have some private documents that contain sensitive personal information, you can hide every kind of application that your Samsung smartphone has.

Not only the applications that you install on your phone, but you can also hide the pre-installed apps so that you can easily find other important apps. These hidden applications will not even be visible in the search results, so now you can give your phone to anyone without any stress.

However, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t any way to find those hidden applications. Your PlayStore history or app data folders can make these applications visible. If you want, you can hide these applications too.
