hiding apps

Google Pixel users will have access to a new feature called Private Space with the release of Android 15, allowing them to create a hidden app ecosystem, including a separate instance of the Google Play Store. To enable Private Space, users must navigate to Settings, select Security & Privacy, tap on Private Space, input their PIN, and set it up. Users can create a new Google account for this space to keep downloaded apps and data separate from their primary account. Accessing Private Space involves swiping up from the home screen, tapping on the lock icon, and entering the PIN. For older Pixel models, apps can be concealed using a third-party launcher like Nova Launcher, which allows users to hide apps after setting it as the default launcher. Additionally, users can disable system apps through the Settings menu, but this method is limited to system apps and may affect other operations.
