Do you have some files you want to keep away from prying eyes on your Android device? Well, you don’t have to download any third-party app to achieve this. In this post, we will show you how to hide files on your Android mobile phone without using any third-party apps.
Why would you want to hide a file? There could be several reasons. Perhaps you have personal photos or videos you don’t want others to see. Or maybe you have confidential files or data that you don’t want to be leaked. Whatever your reason, we’ve got you covered.
First, let’s start by hiding a folder. Open your default file manager and locate the folder you want to hide. For instance, if you want to hide the Facebook folder, navigate to DCIM and then Facebook. Tap on the folder and change its name to dot Facebook. Click on okay, and you’ll see that the Facebook folder is now hidden.
Next, open your gallery, and you’ll notice that the Facebook folder is no longer visible. If you want to hide a particular file, go to your file explorer or manager, and change the file’s name to include a dot before its name. For example, change the name from “file” to “.file” and it becomes hidden.
If you want to show the hidden file, open your file manager, click on options, and select “show hidden files.” You will see the hidden file with a dot before its name. To make it visible again, tap on the file, change its name by removing the dot, and click on okay.
