How to Hide Apps on Android Without Any App – Usually after we install an application, the application icon will be automatically displayed on the home screen of the cellphone.
On average, all brands of cellphones with Android operating systems such as Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, or Samsung have default settings like that.
The goal is to make it easier for users to access the application. The problem is that sometimes our cellphones are borrowed by someone, good friends, family, girlfriends, and without our knowledge, they access the applications on the cellphone.
To avoid unwanted things, we can hide the cellphone application so that it is not known and used by others.
Applications that have been hidden will not be displayed on the home screen of the cellphone and only we can access the application.
For more details on how to hide applications on various brands, let’s discuss in more detail one by one starting from Oppo.
