Step 1: Open Home Screen Settings
Long press on an empty space on the home screen of your Xiaomi smartphone to access the home screen settings. You will see options to add widgets, change the wallpaper, and adjust the home screen settings.
Step 2: Go to Hidden Apps Settings
Tap “Settings” or the gear icon to access the Home screen settings. Next, look for an option called "Hidden Apps" or "Hidden Folder." The wording may vary depending on the MIUI ROM version you are using. Tap this option to continue.
Step 3: Create a hidden folder or enable hidden apps
If this is your first time using this feature, you may need to create a hidden folder or enable hidden apps. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure this feature. You may also need to set a password or unlock pattern to access your hidden apps.
Step 4: Add apps to hidden folder
Once you enable hidden apps or create a hidden folder, you can add apps to that folder. You will see a list of all the applications installed on your Xiaomi smartphone. Tap the apps you want to hide to add them to the hidden folder. Selected apps will now be hidden from the home screen and app drawer.
Step 5: Access your hidden apps
To access your hidden applications, open the hidden folder following the method defined during setup (for example, by performing a specific gesture or using a password).
You will see your hidden apps and can use them as usual. To make an app visible again, go to the hidden folder, long-press the app and follow the instructions to remove it from the hidden folder or make it visible on the home screen.
