The App Icon Hider is a smart utility that discreetly removes app icons from your phone menu without uninstalling the applications themselves. This free tool doesn't engage in app deletion; it merely conceals their icons from your phone and its menu. In case another individual gets hold of your phone, they're unable to spot your hidden apps. To rediscover them, you need to input a pattern code on your screen to reveal your hidden apps once more.

A Privacy-Enhancing Tool

There are numerous reasons why you might wish to hide apps on your phone. It could be because you have dating apps that you want to keep private, or maybe you have pregnancy-related apps that you'd rather keep hidden. The reasons for wanting to keep certain apps discreet are numerous, and this application enables you to do so. App Icon Hider displays a list of all installed apps on your phone, and you simply check the box beside the ones you want to keep under wraps to conceal them. To reveal them again, you can input the pattern code, or uncheck the box next to your hidden app and it will reappear on your phone and your phone menu. Additionally, you can lock apps without hiding them, which provides an additional level of security to your phone.

A Concealer, Not a Deleter

Reiterating, App Icon Hider does not uninstall your apps, nor does it prevent them from running in the background. It simply eliminates visible icons from your phone so that other people are unable to spot your hidden apps. Moreover, others cannot deactivate the app hider without the correct pattern password. No root permission is required, and the user interface is easily understandable and user-friendly.
