Most of the time, tech firms want to show off their latest phone updates – but Google's working on something that's the opposite of showing off. A new feature called Private Space will enable you to hide the apps you choose from prying eyes. Apps you've put into Private Space won't appear in the launcher, privacy dashboard, permission manager or other settings and won't deliver notifications while you've got them locked.
Hiding apps isn't new to Android; it's a feature you'll find in many third party launcher apps, including ones from the likes of Samsung and OnePlus. But those features aren't baked into the operating system. Private Space will be. It's currently available in the latest Android Preview and will then become part of the full OS in a future release.
