Hiding private space on my Android deviceSolved

Hey @bram! 

If you want to keep your private space completely out of sight, there’s an option to hide it from appearing in all apps. Go to the Private Space option in your Settings and look for the Hide private space option. Once enabled, it won’t appear in the main app drawer or file manager, so people won’t even know it exists. 

It stays hidden unless you disable this option. 

Ohh, nice! But @smedt, after hiding it, how do I access private space when I need it? 

Once hidden, private space won’t appear by default in the app drawer. To access it, you’ll need to explicitly search for “Private space” in your device’s search bar. This will bring it up and allow you to access it from there. 

It’s a good way to keep it out of sight until you need it, and it only shows up when you actively search for it! 

That’s exactly what I was looking for, thanks, @smedt! I have one more question, though. Once my project is over, I’d like to delete the private space completely without leaving any trace behind. Is there a way to safely remove everything, including all stored data, when I’m done? 

It’s easy! When you’re ready to delete it, just go to Private Space settings and select Delete private space. This will permanently remove all files, apps, and data associated with Private Space, leaving no trace. 

However, if any app in Private Space has been syncing data to a cloud server, that data might still be recoverable if you sign back into those apps later.
