If you’re like most people, you probably use your Android phone to do things like check email, make calls, and read news. But what if you don’t want your recent apps on your phone? You can hide them by using a settings app or by using a third-party app. Here are three tips to help you hide recently used apps on Android:
- Use the Settings App: The Settings App is the most common place to find and change settings for your Android phone. To hide recently used apps, open the Settings App and select “Apps.” Under “Apps,” select “All Apps.” This will hide all of your current apps, including any that have been used recently.
- Use a Third-Party App: If you don’t want to use the Settings App or the built-in app for hiding apps, you can use a third-party app. Some good options include Nova Launcher and Apex Launcher. Nova Launcher is free and easy to use; Apex Launcher is paid but offers more features than either of the other two options.
- Set Up Automatic Updates: If you’re not comfortable using the Settings App or a third-party app, you can set up automatic updates so that all of your current apps are updated automatically when they’re updated in the Google Play Store or elsewhere.
