Help Hiding Apps

[paddynski]

Hi

I have both a Huawei P20 Lite (model ANE-LX1) and a Huawei tablet (Model BAH2-W19) and I wish to hide some built-in apps on both. I know about the pinch-out gesture on the Home screen to bring up the hide app menu but this doesn't work on either device. Is there another way to bribg up this menu? The apps I want to hide cannot be disabled.

All the best

Patrick

There are a few launchers in the play store that will hide apps.
Nova launcher is one of those

Most of apps can be disabled from the app detail page. Once you disable an app it won't appear on the list.

No problem! As Dannydet said, there are launchers that can hide apps. Nova is most often recommended, but I prefer ADW.

I have the paid versions of both ADW Launcher 1 EX and ADW Launcher 2. The former I've used forever, the latter I just started using last week. It has a few nice enhancements, but really both are great launchers--and will do what you're looking for.

By the way, I've never heard of a 'hide app menu.' I've had Motorola phones exclusively; I wonder if that feature is only available on certain phones. It sure would be handy!
