How to HIDE your APPS on Google Pixel phones (Private Space and custom launcher guides)

[@kindofanmol]

This is so incredibly stupid. Why can't they just give an option to hide apps in a straightforward manner like other OEMs do?

[@deltaechomusicnh555]

You clearly don't understand the concept. This isn't about hiding apps from the app draw. It's about having a whole secret phone inside your phone, with its own playstore.

[@kindofanmol]

@@deltaechomusicnh555 That's my point. They are two completely different features and Google should give us both.

[@user-wh5op6ge5m]

@@kindofanmol The option to hide an app is there. On my pixel I go to my app drawer and hit the 3 dots on the top right to find "Hidden apps"

[@jasonericf]

Essentially then the private space is just a different google account? That seems an overcomplicated feature when just simply hiding apps in the app drawer isn't yet a feature.

The private space setting does not show up on my phone, pixel 8 pro, up to date firmware.

Finally. Hide those banking and shopping apps from the kids and anyone who wants to shop on your dime.

[@itssomeoneelse]

Do your banking and shopping apps not have passcode/2-factor authentication?

[@TechNomadUK1]

Is this actually available for Android 14.x Pixel phones? Can you add apps manually and not just click the "+" sign and asking you to download the app? And is this better than Samsung's Secure Folder?

[@aurathedraak7909]

Can't wait, with my pixel 7pro But i can't wait for pixel 9

[@tanmaykumar6571]

Now they should work on app lock too
