Just the title. Launcher: Kvaesitso Android 9 Honor 7x

Edit: I meant apps that are useless, like clutter and do not need to be opened once they are configured.

I still need those apps, like for the keyboard.

In Kvaesitso, just go to the app list, long press the app, hit the three vertical dots in the corner of the pop-up, and select hide.

Thanks. That was exactly what I needed.

Lawnchair can hide, rename and change icons of app starters.

Shelter can freeze or hide apps. But I think only in the work profile (Shelter) it creates. Not in the main profile.

GrapaheneOS/CalyxOS/LineageOS can disable apps, so that they don't appear in the launcher at all. You simply have to re-enable to app from settings to use it.

Alternatively consider multiple phone users on android, put your sensitive apps in a different user account entirely.

offtopic but you really shouldnt use an OS that hasnt recieved any security patches for more than 2 years now

[โ€“] OneCupFOSS@reddthat.com 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Well, it is still being updated.
