Do you have some apps on your Infinix phone that you don’t want others to see or access? It could be because they are private or personal. Or maybe you want to hide the app on your phone because it contains sensitive banking information or investments.

Whatever the reason, hiding apps on your Infinix device is good because when you hide an app, it becomes invisible and can’t be seen by anyone else.

I will show you how to hide apps on Infinix phones in this quick guide to keep your private life private and make your phone look tidy and inaccessible.

Let’s get started!

How to Hide Apps on Infinix

There are three ways to hide apps on Infinix devices: using the Infinix launcher, using third-party apps like App Lock or using the XHide feature. Now, let’s get to more details on how to use each of the methods mentioned.

How to Hide Apps on Infinix Using the Infinix Launcher

The Infinix launcher is the default launcher that comes with Infinix devices. It offers several customization options, including the ability to hide apps. Here’s how to do it:

1. Long-press on the home screen to open the launcher settings.
2. Tap on “Home screen settings.”
3. Scroll down and tap on “Hide apps.”
4. Select the apps you want to hide and tap on “Apply.”

The apps you selected will now be hidden from your home screen and app drawer. To access them, you must go back to the interface to access the hidden app.

3. Select the apps you want to hide and tap on the “Hide” button.
4. The selected apps will now be hidden from the app drawer and can only be accessed by entering the App Lock password or pattern lock.

Note that this method may not work on all Infinix devices, and there may be other methods specific to certain models.

How to Hide Apps on Infinix Using XHide

To hide apps using Xhide, follow these steps:

1. Launch the Xhide app.
