These days, everyone seems to be concerned about the privacy of their content. Be it your duckface picture or your pictures with your girlfriend, you might want to hide them from others who have access to your device. There are thousands of ways you can hide content on your device and make it inaccessible to others. It is a good idea to keep your private content away from those who you do not want to share with. If you have got an Android smartphone or tablet, the guide below should help you hide content on it.
Since Android does not have an inbuilt option to hide content, you are going to use a third-party app called File Hide Expert. The app allows users to hide and unhide content on their devices and fortunately, it doesn’t cost a penny.
Stuffs You're Gonna Need:
- A working android device.
- A File Manager (default).
- Few fingers to work with. ..
Now open your file manager.
Next go to your file manager settings and look for the term, Show Hidden Files/Folders. And enable/mark it as shown in the figure below. Then save your settings.
Now rename the existing folder you want to hide or create a new one. I'm gonna hide a pre-created folder named techabrel. While renaming the folder just add an extra dot (.) right before all the characters. And save it. Refer to the following screenshot for better understanding.
After that go to the file manager settings again and disable/unmark Show Hidden Files/Folders option. You're all done. The files at the folder will not be viewable at Gallery. Now you don't need to think twice before giving your handheld to your nasty cousin (only if s/he's not reading this article at the same time).
Note: The folder will be noticeable on a computer easily.
