Steps to Create Hidden folders on Android smartphone

Open the File Explorer on your smartphone and navigate to the file and folder you want to hide.

Tap on the rename option to rename a file or folder.

When you get the text box to rename the file, type in a new name for the file and click on OK.

If you have the “Show Hidden Files” option turned on on your Android, the folder will disappear unless you remove it.

To view the files and folders, you will have to enable the “Show Hidden Files” option or use a third party file explorer app like the one provided above.

To remove the hidden attribute, remove the period at the beginning of the file name, and you will be able to view the files with ease. This process is much simpler than hiding your IP address which is quite difficult.
