Features built in video player , gallery , password protection and lots more.
Disguises itself as a Audio Manager app which can be used to turn the volumes up and down. but if you Long press on the Audio Manager title the actual Hide It Pro app will launch.
You can hide Images/Videos/Audio Recordings etc. from the Phone's stock gallery by selecting all the pics that you want to hide and selecting SHARE
Applications can be hidden from within the Hide it Pro app.
Gallery Features :
1.) Thumbnail View
2.) Pinch To Zoom , Double tap to zoom,Rotate pics
3.) Slideshow with Fade and Zoom effects
4.) Caching for seamless browsing
5.) Special optimization for low end phones. (uncheck the low memory mod from settings to get crisper pics back)
6.) Folder unhiding , deleting etc.
7.) Mark and unhide /delete files , Multi-Select
8.) Send/Share pictures/ Rotate etc.
9.) Sort files by date , size , alphabetical
10.) Inbuilt video player

12.) Two lock screen options viz Pin and Password
etc.
Link is below to the market..Go check it out read the reviews and hope it comes handy for you as it did for me. Read the reviews as well at the bottom of his page in the market.

Really clever and useful app.
I've only used it to hide apps on friends' Androids, once I've configured them.
They're new to Android and want the simplest experience they can get, with all the benefits.
It's a shame that you cant hide Minimalistic Text and Desktop Visualizer, and still have them run on the homescreen though. Hidden apps won't always run in the background (as warned in the app).
I hope it continues to develop - it's definitely worth al look for anyone who is not aware of it's potential.
I love the fact that it actually operates as an audio manager. Excellent disguise.
I'm using it since a few month. Save with tb. Restore after flashing a new rom. You just have to hide app again. Great app. Bugless.

hey buddy if you go on your phone and in the search you put Hide Pro that will be the first thing it will come up..download it and enjoy the app. but if you want the link just let me know and i give it to you
Been using it for ages now and its quite good, easy to use etc.
The only problem is it doesnt truly hide the pictures, files etc you want hidden. It simply moves them somewhere else with the old . trick before the folder name. Anyone who is familiar with android phones will know how to find them with root explorer.
Ive been searching but cant find an app that truly hides it. Back in the days when i was on Windows mobile 6.5, there was an app "Hide my stuff" and believe me, it did just that. Connect your phone to the PC, the folder exists but its blank in size, no files, cant unhide them etc. Only way to view them is via the app on the phone but i cant find anything on Android that hides things like that app did :-(

Dont think you follow me, dont get me wrong, ive used for 6 months easy and it is good for what it does.
What i mean is that it doesnt matter what ROM youre using, it doesnt truly hide the files you think are hidden. ie/ if i had your phone, i would be able to find the files easily so if the average person took your phone, whatever pictures you hide, arent seen in the gallery for example however its easy to find anything you have hidden if you get my drift. This is because the app moves the files somewhere else. Any file explorer can see them so its not really hidden. go to /mnt/sdcard/programdata/android/language/.fr/ and everything hidden is there so i wouldnt call that hidden lol
The other app i mentioned when i was using windows TRULY hid the file and there was no way you could ever find it unless you unhid it with the app, hope that makes sense.
I was just putting it out there if anyone knew of an app on Android that truly hides files, i havent found one yet.

Much appreciated. I hope you have better luck then me because ive been looking for ages and to date, this one is one of the better ones. The way it functions, ease of use, menu etc is great, i just wish it truly hid something.
Most on the market just put a . in front of the folder, with file explorer its easily viewed.
If you are ever bored, hide some pictures you dont want anyone to see, go to a photo shop where you can use the self service machines to print photos, put your phones SD/micro SD card in there and whatever you have hidden appears lol.
When i used this other app on windows it wouldnt appear

Il give you a buzz if something comes up..In the meantime im having a bloody rough time putting a link in my sig and its not bloody working and ihave tried everything i know
I'm using this app since the beginning. It's a great app. it had already saved my life lots of time !!!
It's really great for the money !
Hidden files are renamed in .bin, and then are moved to a "secret folder" in External_sd\ProgramData\Android\Language\.fr\ or something like that.
The add-on option is a way to lock an application. When you try to launch a protected app, you've got a force close message. in this message you choose report, then you have to input your secret code, and the app is launched...really clever solution.
Developer say that his next goal is to hide some secrets contacts from address book.
Yes man, believe me, it's a great app. hidden in a audio manager application.
PS 1: I have nothing to do with the developer. I've try lot of similar apps, but this one was the best one.
The other solution was giving by Tasker and some intelligent script to lock app and hide files. But it's more more complicated ;-)
PS 2: On the bad side, developer did not update his app for a while :-(

I know its a shame but still great apps like this i dont see no harm sharing them with people on here...nice glasses by the way
thanks for your comments
This one encrypts files
Try Private Gallery - Hide Pictures from market.
It encrypts files with option to hide app access via phone dialer.
Tested on Dell Streak 5.
I am using this app since 4 months.. it simply does what it says.. n it was one of the best
but the last update killed 'Lock App' feature which comes with an plugin... which is one of a kind..i love the disguised force close option.
Please tell me if this feature is still working for you'll???
Hi everyone,
I've managed to hide apps but I can't unhide them? It gives me an error when trying to do so and the app appears back in the hidden list.
Anyone else experienced this and managed to fix it?
Since the location of hiden files are stored in Phone memory (\ProgramData\Android\Language\.fr) can we move to External SD Card memory?
I often confuse with the terms "SDCARD" in file explorer, in my opinion "sdcard" is the external memory card which is purchase separately...
This app appeared on my phone without being installed. What caused this???
thanks for share:good:
How many apps do you have installed on your wp today ?
(Note, this is not a poll to see how many you have had at one point, or how you don't need apps because of x, or need more apps because of y. )
Also, what are the top 5 apps you have installed the os did not provide enough functionality for ?
(This is also only a top 5 list, not how/why/when.)
Hopefully the requests for specifics will xut down on chatter and only provide the data for others to see. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REVIEW YOUR FAVORITE APPS, OR EXPLAIN WHAT THE APPS ARE USED FOR. ANYONE WITH GOOGLE IN FRONT OF THEM CAN FIGURE THIS OUT FOR THEMSELVES.
Thank you for your data.

You need to pick an element that has a lot of relatives (ie - lists consist of elements that have the same use in a webpage). Then you need to click "use all as list".

It took me a while but managed to get it working, I think this was mainly due to the sites format.
now working extremely well, I have paid for the key.
Could I request a little feature?
If possible could you allow the title font to be changed ?
Great app though, really useful.

Usually it means there was a problem with the parser. I will try to fix this for your site today as I also noticed it.

Hi
Just asking my N975U note 10+ i update it to android 10 **********TE7 latest from sammobile and i figure it out the security antivirus was not install in the device care, i try to click it however it close automatically anyone have a solution on it or it will not fix anymore? I search alot try to do troubleshooting still not work , if you have anything please help thank you!
I don't have anti-virus as part of my software, and never have. It is something that needed to be installed separately.
Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
There's no need for an antivirus on a phone...
Any antivirus app available on the Play Store is usually just a front which rarely (if ever) offers any antivirus related functions, and usually more focused on offering services like cleaning and antitheft.
Apps get scanned for suspicious blah blah at the time of install by the Play Store itself.

For me that "AntiVirus" is just a "hidden" advert for "Mc Affee AntiVirus"
Clever advertising ploy of Samsung.?
Overall ,that basic scan is useless..( according to me.)
look ..... at the bold links.. click on that link and it will take you to McAfee site , where you can purchase their product.

Good luck

Yes, I'm also talking about same thing...
Phone /Settings /Device Care /Security......
It's actually a McAfee AntiVirus, not Samsung however it's "baked" into Samsung Firmware.
(See more screenshots below)
It seems to me that you are only stuck the first page ?
Obviously your Service Provider/CSC disabled it with their software.
It's not installed as that's why it closes automatically.
eg
Score eg 100
Battery
Storage
Memory
Security.
If you click Security.. then the other pages appear..( See screenshots. )
That Samsung AntiVirus or McAfee is on all my Samsung Note devices eg Notes 8/9 /10
Good luck

No its baked into your Samsung Firmware of your device.
If you cannot access the Security functions, then its been
automatically been disabled, by your Service provider or by your Regional CSC (Samsung Firmware)
Only way you might get access to it if you flash another Regional CSC.?.
that has this Security function enabled.?
This i would not advise.
Bottom line,
What i said in my previous post (Above), also that
its really not worth even bothering about it.
Suggestion,
Even though i can access the Samsung Security Scan function,
I have only used it once and i have my Note 10 + since August./. October 2019.
Really basic and its not really a Samsung app but powered by McAfee
See screenshot.
My security setup is
using. Adguard app blocker (paid subscription)
and i have the free version of Malwarebytes
which i manually scan my device..( if i feel like it)
Further Google Play services, automatically scans my all my apps on my devices regularly.
You have to enable it in Play store settings.
I used to have paid version of Norton AntiVirus, but it was a waste of money.!
So i also really don't need a "half baked" Samsung / McAfee AntiVirus.
Anyway its your choice
Good luck

However,
thinking again about your issue...
"that if you click.. tap on it it automatically closes."
Thats strange, because if your Service Provider
or Regional CSC, disabled it. it would be "greyed out"
You cannot tap/click on it.!
Have you not maybe disabled some System apps
and have a knock on effect.?
Otherwise may something corrupted your settings.
In that case only a Factory Reset can help.
Further i cannot see why a Service provider would disable it.
I would check with someone nearby or Regional
if they can access it.
Good luck.

It doesn't even appear on my device as an option, so it is quite likely mine was removed by my provider since they sell lots of 'extras'.

It looks like the "Device security" portion of Device care is deliberately disabled on US Devices in order for US carriers to push their own AV solutions
I am thinking of getting this phone. Can anyone tell if the device works OK with k9-mail? I read that many mediatek devices stop external apps...
can anyone confirm if whatsapp notifications works OK?

Hey brother, I have the phone and have been using it for some months now. It does limit the background apps, but contrary to Xiaomi and other chinese brands, it's really easy to stop the phone from doing so. There's a configuration on the device's settings called Performance Optimization that you can use to limit or unlimit app background activity. You also have the option to completely deactivate the feature and let the apps run on the background at will. Here are some screenshots that I took to better show what I'm talking about (the apps are censored for security/privacy reasons)
