Android readies 'Private Space' for apps you want to keep hidden (9to5google.com)

It’s all too common to want to keep Android apps hidden, with quite a few launchers offering a way to hide or disguise an app from onlookers. OnePlus and Samsung both even offer a built-in way to stash apps into a “Hidden Space,” ensuring your privacy stays intact if you ever need to hand your phone to someone else.

Finally, a place to stash all my Samsung bloatware

May I recommend Universal Android Debloater instead? It lets you uninstall the bloatware easily with lists, you just need a device running a desktop os and a cable to connect it to your phone

EDIT: if anyone is reading this, the project appears to have been abandoned, try the fork called Universal Android Debloater Next Generation (yes it’s a dumb name)

You can even do it without another device with canta. Even if your android isn't rooted, canta can still delete bloatware if shizuku is running. Both shizuku and canta are available on fdroid.
