Our smartphones are digital binders that house profoundly personal and critical data. Should you ever misplace your phone or become the victim of a snatch-and-grab, you want to ensure that this data isn’t easily accessible. To mitigate this, many people hide their apps from their app grid or home page, and I do this to some extent. However, there is another way to hide Android apps.
More recently, I’ve been experimenting with various ways to camouflage these apps, hiding them in plain sight. I stumbled across a rather silly but quite brilliant method. If you’re like me and don’t have access to Samsung’s Secure Folder or Google’s Private Space but want to keep your apps from prying eyes and sticky fingers, follow my solution below.
