Security and privacy is something very important in our mobiles and Huawei aware of this offers us in EMUI a series of options that allow us to hide applications and also photos. It is a trick based on what is known as a private space that allows us to make invisible on our mobile everything we do not want to see available to everyone.
Regardless of what our Huawei mobile is, we will be able to use it, we only need to have EMUI 8 or a higher version and we can take advantage of it. It is a function with several ins and outs and therefore we are going to go step by step explaining how to use it. First we have to activate it and then we will continue with its options.
How to activate the private space with EMUI
The first thing we have to do before starting to hide everything we want on our Huawei mobile is to activate the space that Huawei enables on their mobiles.
- To activate it we go to the Settings and tap on Security and privacy.
- Then we choose the Private space option.
- Now we just have to enable this function and continue the steps.
After these steps we will be asked to create a pin or password that must be different from the one we normally use, in this way if someone can access our mobile they will not be able to access this private space as well.
Hide photos in private space
To hide the photographs that we do not want anyone else to see, we will have to repeat these same steps and at the top of all the options in the private space we will see the option ” Move from the main space to the private space “. Inside, the option of photos and music will appear, making it possible for us to see them in a few seconds and no one else can access them.
Hide applications and all files
In case we not only want to hide the photos, we can also resort to an advanced trick of the private space to hide the apps, we will have to follow some simple steps:
- We go to the Settings and then Security and privacy.
- Then taken in private space.
- We select the option to hide private space.
With this we will ensure that nobody can access our space, but we still have an important change to make it easier for us to use . Right below there is an option called “Password protection” and with this what we will do is use the pin or password that we use for this space on the lock screen. This way we will be the only ones who have access to those hidden photos and the apps that we don’t want anyone else to see.
