How to hide apps more securely :

 

Samsung’s Hide Apps feature works well most of the time, but you may have trouble keeping apps private with someone familiar with Samsung phones and know how to search for hidden apps.

 

The safest option is to install a third-party app that can hide apps with a password. There are many apps in the Google Play store that can easily hide apps, notably AppLock, a free and reliable app that requires you to enter a password. Pass, or use the code to access hidden applications.

 

• Install the AppLock app from the Google Play store on your Galaxy S10.
• Under the General section of the app, choose the app you want to lock with a passcode.
• You will be asked to create a passcode that the app uses for authentication when you try to open locked apps.
• Then go to the Home screen settings page as mentioned above, click on the Hide apps option, select the app you created a passcode in App Lock, and tap the Apply option at the bottom of the screen.
