Enable the option “Enable password verification“

Enable the option “Hide Homescreen Icon“. When you try to enable Hide Homescreen Icon option you will see a pop-up to enter the access number first time. Here set the access number you want to set.
Always remember this access number otherwise it will be very difficult for you to open the hidden apps. Because your hidden apps will not be visible anywhere on your mobile.

Open hidden apps with Access Number
In my case, I have set my password 1234 so you can open hidden apps by dialling your access number with adding “#” before and after the access number. Ex. – #1234#

As you dial your access number all hidden apps will open in a folder, here you can open the hidden apps. You hidden apps will not be shown in recent apps and search option if you have checked all options as shown in the image.

Open system settings and click on Fingerprint, Face & Passcode

Click on Fingerprint option

Here add two fingers by clicking on Add a fingerprint, one fingerprint will be used to unlock your device and unlock the apps and another fingerprint will be used to unhide the hidden apps.

In my case, I have selected Finger 2 to open the hidden apps. Hidden apps will open in a separate folder when you press your Finger 2 on the fingerprint scanner.
