justify;\">\n<li>You can access your hidden apps just by entering the access code over the dial pad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"sol2\">Trick 2: Hide Apps On Android Using A Third-Party Launcher<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some of the Android manufacturers like <strong>Huawei and Google Pixel<\/strong> don\u2019t have the inbuilt launcher for hiding the apps.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even if your phone doesn\u2019t have the native launcher for hiding the apps but using 3<sup>rd<\/sup> party launcher you can make this task possible. You can download 3<sup>rd<\/sup> party launchers like <strong>Nova,<\/strong><strong> Poco, <\/strong><strong>Evie.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But if you don&#8217;t want to install a third-party launcher and looking for a way to hide apps without using any launcher, then you can read our guide on how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androiddata-recovery.com\/blog\/hide-apps-without-launcher-android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>hide apps on Android without launcher<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, if you are okay with using 3rd party launchers, then let\u2019s know <strong>how to hide apps on android using <\/strong><strong>Nova Launcher.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Hide Apps Using Nova Launcher:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>From your phone\u2019s Google Play Store download the <strong>Nova Launcher.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Now open the <strong>Nova launcher settings.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Make a tap over the<strong> App Drawer.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Go down on your screen and hit the<strong> Hide apps<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n<li>Make a selection for the apps which you want to hide.<\/li>\n<li>In case you need to access the hidden apps then by making the app search you can find it out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Note:<\/span> <\/strong>Well, you will get the option for hiding the apps on android only when you choose the Nova launcher\u2019s pro version which costs $4.99.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Hide Apps Using POCO Launcher<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>From your phone\u2019s Google Play Store download the <strong>POCO Launcher.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Make a tap over the<strong> App Drawer <\/strong>and then move from left to right side of your screen.<\/li>\n<li>Assign a password if for the first time you are hiding the apps.<\/li>\n<li>Make a selection for the Android apps which you need to hide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So in this way you can easily <strong>hide apps on Android without disabling or rooting <\/strong>them.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"sol3\">Trick 3: Hide Android Apps Using Multiple Users Feature<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another option that you can try to hide apps on Android apart from using launchers is using the multiple user features.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You need to create a new user and being in that profile installs the apps which you want to keep secret.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Don\u2019t worry each profile is completely independent of others and all the installed apps in it are limited to this only.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>For creating a new user in your android phone, go to the<strong> settings <\/strong>and then to the <strong>System.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Hit the<strong> Multiple users &gt; Add a user <\/strong>option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13049\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androiddata-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/hide-apps-on-android-using-multiple-user-feature.png\" alt=\"hide apps on android using multiple user feature\" width=\"535\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androiddata-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/hide-apps-on-android-using-multiple-user-feature.png 535w, https:\/\/www.androiddata-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/hide-apps-on-android-using-multiple-user-feature-300x238.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Note:<\/strong><\/span> Steps may differ as per your Android devices. So just look for the users present in the settings. After creating the user, you can make the easy switch between any users present in the quick panel.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"sol4\">Trick 4: Change The App Icon And Name<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each app on your phone is identified by its icon and name.\u00a0 But if you change its name and icon then no one can guess the real app behind this fake identity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, this task is possible by using any of the above-listed 3<sup>rd<\/sup> party launchers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here we are considering Nova launcher. So the steps are according to that only:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Make a long tap over the app which you need to hide.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the <strong>edit <\/strong>option from the menu.<\/li>\n<li>Modify the app name using the <strong>app label<\/strong> Try to keep the name simple like a calculator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13048\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androiddata-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/hide-apps-on-android-2.png\" alt=\"hide apps on android without disabling\" width=\"257\" height=\"439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androiddata-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/hide-apps-on-android-2.png 257w, https:\/\/www.androiddata-recovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/hide-apps-on-android-2-176x300.png 176w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>After that hit the app icon for changing the icon on the next screen. Keep the icon also very simple so that anyone can guess it as a system app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"sol15\">Trick 5: Rename Folder and App to It<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can also <strong>hide apps on Android phones without disabling or rooting the device<\/strong> by adding an app to the folder. So, just like renaming the app, you can also rename the folder with the name that no one would be interested in looking at and then add your app to this folder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Using this method, you can hide apps on the app drawer and the home screen as well. Most of the launchers allow adding a folder on the home screen, but very few launchers will allow you to add the folder to the app drawer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In that case, you need to install the launcher that allows adding a folder to the app drawer.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"sol6\">Trick 6: Create Guest Account Or Use Phone In Private Mode<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Instead of installing the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> app hider, you can try other alternatives like creating a Guest user account or using the phone in private mode. It is quite a conspicuous and cumbersome solution as this involves switching over guest account while sharing the phone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So all in all it\u2019s the best option for ultra-secrecy. But for parents who want to child-proof their phone, it\u2019s the best option.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But the process will definitely get varied as per the Android phone manufacturer and version. This option is not available on all types of android devices and versions.
