How to Set App Lock and Hide Apps on Your OPPO Phone

🔐 How to Use App Lock on OPPO Phones

App Lock allows you to lock individual apps with a password, fingerprint, or face unlock.

✅ Steps to Enable App Lock:

1. Open the Settings app.

2. Tap on Security and Privacy > App Lock.

3. Set up your privacy password (if not done already).

4. Toggle ON the apps you want to lock (e.g., WhatsApp, Photos, Paytm).

5. Choose how you want to unlock the app:

• Password

• Fingerprint

• Face unlock

📌 Once enabled, the locked apps will ask for authentication every time they’re opened.

🫥 How to Hide Apps on OPPO Phones

Want to hide apps from your app drawer entirely? You can do that too!

✅ Steps to Hide Apps:

1. Go to Settings and Privacy > Hide Apps.

2. Enter your privacy password.

3. Choose the apps you want to hide.

4. Set up an access code (e.g., #123456#).

• This code is typed into the Phone dialer to access hidden apps.

5. Tap Done.

📌 Hidden apps won’t appear in the app drawer, notifications, or recent tasks. Only you can access them using the access code.

🧠 Bonus Tip:

Want even more privacy? Combine App Lock with Private Safe (Settings and Privacy > Private Safe) to store confidential files like photos, documents, and videos securely.
