How do I hide an app?

Many Android phones (like Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus) have a built-in option to hide apps:

Select the apps you want to hide and tap Done.
These apps will no longer show in the app drawer but remain on your phone.

Open Settings.

Go to Home Screen Settings or Display (varies by brand).

Look for Hide Apps or Hidden Apps option.

If your phone doesn’t have a built-in option, you can use a launcher app:

  • Install a launcher like Nova Launcher or Microsoft Launcher from the Play Store.
  • In the launcher settings, look for Hide Apps or App Drawer Settings.
  • Select the apps you want to hide.

For system apps you can’t uninstall but want to hide:

  • Go to Settings > Apps > App Info.
  • Select the app.
  • Tap Disable (this will hide it and stop it from working).
