Samsung Galaxy devices are known for their sleek design and powerful performance. However, some users may find it difficult to hide apps from view when using the phone. Here are a few tips to help you hide apps on a Samsung phone:
- Disable notifications: This is one of the most important steps you can take to keep your Samsung phone clean and free of distractions. By disabling notifications, you will be less likely to miss important alerts or messages.
- Hide icons: One way to hide apps from view is by hiding icons on the home screen. This will make it difficult for users to accidentally open an app when they want to use it.
- Disable camera: If you want to keep your Samsung phone’s camera hidden, you can do so by disabling it altogether or by changing the settings so that photos are only taken when needed and not stored in the camera’s memory card.
Once you hide an app, it disappears from your app drawer and home screen. However, it’ll still show up in your phone’s Settings app.

Hide Apps on Your Samsung Android Phone
To start hiding apps, access your Galaxy phone’s home screen. There, tap and hold any blank space. In the menu that opens, tap “Settings.”
When the Settings page opens, scroll down and tap “Hide Apps.”
You’ll see a “Select Apps” screen. Here, choose the apps you’d like to hide by tapping them. When you’ve made your selections, tap “Done.”
And that’s it. Your chosen apps are now hidden.
Later, you can unhide your apps by accessing the same “Hide Apps” menu, selecting your hidden apps, and choosing “Done.”
That’s all there is to it.
For even more privacy when sharing your phone with others, try locking an app on your Android device.
