Our smartphones (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-android-phones-568001/) 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 (https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-secure-folder-908758/) or Google’s Private Space (https://www.androidauthority.com/hide-apps-google-pixel-phones-3456145/) but want to keep your apps from prying eyes and sticky fingers, follow my solution below.
