How to Hide Apps on your Galaxy S9
Samsung’s Galaxy S9 is an updated handset that mostly relates to the look and feel of the previous generation device, which is probably a big reason why the company is focusing specifically on the flagship smartphone’s set of special features. There is nothing wrong in that and even without dramatic changes to the design, the device that I am talking about is already sitting in the top of preferences for this year.
Depending on the carrier, your Samsung Galaxy S9 may come with a lot of apps you will never use. Unfortunately, some of these apps are baked in and can’t be uninstalled without rooting the phone. In such a case, you can hide the apps so that you won’t see them any longer and so that they don’t take up screen real estate.
Even more, maybe you want to hide some important apps from other people in your Samsung Galaxy S9 and there is no one judging you about that. When you hide apps in your S9, that particular app is not view in the apps screen, so your kid will never know that it is there.
There are two ways to hide apps:
