- It is helpful in keeping personal information safe from friends/relatives.
Smartphone Hidden Feature: Smartphones have now become a necessity for people. People store personal information, photos, videos and other important information in their phones. At the same time, in today’s digital world, people have also started paying attention to privacy. People are now more concerned about the data present in their devices.
That is why people often buy such phones in which they get better privacy features. Now there is such a feature in some phones with the help of which your phone will appear completely new or empty to someone else whereas for you all the apps and data remain present in it as before?
What is this special feature?
Let us tell you that different companies offer this feature under different names. In some phones it comes by the name of Private Space, in some it is called Second Space feature and in some it is present by the name Hidden Profile. The purpose of this feature is to create a separate and safe space in your phone.
Now when someone else unlocks your phone with a different password, PIN or fingerprint, he will see only a few apps in the phone as if the phone is brand new or has just been purchased.
How does this system work?
The way this feature works is somewhat different. Actually, you have set two different unlock patterns in the phone. The first fingerprint or PIN is for your personal profile and the second is for the guest profile.
Now when you use your fingerprint, the phone will open normally and all the apps will be visible. But when the other person opens the phone with another PIN or fingerprint, he will see only those things which you have decided for that profile.
How is it beneficial for users?
Users can use this feature in many ways. Let us tell you that sometimes friends, relatives or your colleagues ask for your phone for some time. In such a situation, it is natural to be worried about your personal chats, photos, social media accounts or banking apps.
With the help of this feature, you can create a separate profile in which only selected apps will be visible to the other person. But as soon as the phone comes to you, it will become the same as the old one and you will start seeing all the apps as before.
