Android Finally Has Private Space for Hiding Apps and Here is How it Looks
Android Finally Has Private Space for Hiding Apps and Here is How it Looks-December 2024
Dec 27, 2024 8:07 AM

Stock Android is excellent, but it often does not have the more fleshed-out features that you find in third-party skins. Take Samsung's Secure Folder, a feature I love on all Galaxy phones. It never debuted in a stock version up until now, as Pixel phones will soon be able to enjoy Private Space, a feature with a similar mission.

The Private Space on Android looks excellent, but it needs to deliver a lot more functionality once it finishes

Now that Google has released the Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2, Private Space can be activated from within the Pixel device. Do keep in mind that the feature is still not fully functional, but you do get an idea of how it is going to work. You can check out the screenshot below to get a better idea of how it will be:

As mentioned before, the Private Space feature is still not live on Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2, but once it is available, you will be able to find it inSettings > Security & privacy > Private Space.

You can check some more screens to see how it is going to look:

Now, we do know that the latest Private Space feature should work similarly to Samsung's Secure Folder. However, we are not sure if it will support more than just the apps. If you have used Secure Folder, you should know that aside from the ability to hide apps, it also hides photos, browser information, and a lot more.

Based on the information obtained from Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2, Private Space is still a work in progress, and that explains why Google has not debuted it for everyone to use. We are going to learn more about this feature once it is complete, but simply put, it is good that the company is actually paying attention to a feature that users have been requesting for a long time.
