How to Hide Apps and Set Up an Access Code on OPPO Phone
To utilize this feature you will need to add app encryption and set up an access number for certain apps so you will be the only one who will know it. Encrypting your app as well as setting the access number is easy.

Enter your privacy password or create one > Toggle the button ON which application you want to hide.
Tap on the [Settings] icon and Select [Set Access code].
Enter your Code and select [Done].
Note: You have to enter the hide app password between two # for eg: [#1234#].
For ColorOS 7 & 11:
Go to your OPPO smartphone's [Settings].
Scroll down, and then tap on to [Privacy].
Select [Privacy Password]. (You will be asked to create a privacy password if you haven't set one up yet. You will use this for verification purposes for features such as the App Lock, Hide Apps, and the Private Safe.)
Select the applications you would like to hide.
After you've selected the applications you want hidden, tap on the [Settings] on the upper right corner of your screen.
Select [Change Access Code].(The access code must start and end with #, with 1-16 digits between them.)
