How can you create an invisible folder on your mobile phone?

Sometimes we need to hide some files on our phones as they are very private to us and we don’t want anyone to see them. So you may be wondering if you can hide the folders you have on your Android phone and the answer is that you can.

So that you can hide a folder on Android you must download a file manager that is somewhat good, since the one that comes installed on the phone is not so good to do some actions. Therefore, we recommend that you download the ‘Astro’ file manager that is available on the Play Store. This app supports the option to hide files from your phone.

But there is a way that you can hide a folder manually and without installing apps. This is changing the folder name. For this, you will only have to place a period at the beginning of the folder name when renaming it (Folder1) and save the changes. This way, the folder will be visible to you in the file manager so applications won’t be able to read what it contains.
