How to Hide Apps on Samsung One UI 5.0 From Home & App Screens

Do you want to know how to hide your apps from your home or apps screen on a Samsung Galaxy phone? If you’ve recently updated your Galaxy phone to One UI 5.0 based on Android 13 and don’t know how to do it then you’ll learn here how to hide apps on Samsung One UI 5.0.

Even without thinking about technology, phones have emerged as one of our most valuable and often-used items. They not only help us stay in touch with our loved ones, but they also serve as the center of our financial universe and are where we save vital health information.

Naturally, we lock our devices to prevent others from accessing this private information, but if you often let your kids, partner, or friends use your phone to look things up or snap pictures, there is a chance that this information may be compromised.

On the other hand, Samsung’s One UI 5, which is based on Android 13, offers all the system-level changes that the most recent version of Android brings. Expect One UI 5 to somewhat alter how you interact with your Samsung phone because Android 13 is a minor update. But even if they aren’t very significant changes, many of Android 13’s modifications are good upgrades.

Changes in Android 13 include new notification permission that enables per-app notification opt-in, new language settings that let you alter the languages in which each of your applications appears in, and more.
