How to hide apps from app drawer. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I am looking for a way to hide app icons from the app drawer without rooting my phone as well as I do not want to use any launchers. I also do not want want the hidden apps to be force stopped from running in background. For example, I want to hide auto call recorder from my app drawer while it is running in background recording my calls secretly. Thanks.

i think you can't do it without rooting unless you use custom launcher

Use this. Worked on most launchers I tried.

[Q] Ability to hide apps in touchwiz application draw?

Is it possible to hide apps in touchwiz application draw like go launcher? Thanks.
I don't think this is possible in the default TwLauncher.
What I do to 'hide' the application (from the drawer) is to freeze them with Titanium Backup, but that way you will not be able to launch it unless you unfreeze the application first, so you cannot use it if you, for example, want the program on the homescreen but not in the drawer. You could also make a folder in your drawer and put all the unwanted/unused icons in there, that way you only use up one icon space.

Hide apps from recent apps?

So I'm using the Ubuntu Lockscreeen right now (it's awesome haha), but it shows Nova Launcher in my recent apps, and I accidently swipe it away all the time. Is it possible to hide an app (in this case, Nova Launcher) from the recent apps drawer?
hmmm...
Well you can download hide it pro, but that would hide the whole access to the app (since nova being a launcher I don't know how is it going to act) still can give it a try

How to hide some apps

hey, guys. I am using a Xiaomi phone with MIUI5. I think it is awesome. But it cannot hide apps. Do you have any good idea?
Hiding apps is a function of the launcher. I don't use MIUI but if as you say the launcher can't hide apps then short of using a third party app drawer it can't be done.
You can get next launcher 3d from the Google play store the free or paid version are there and they provide the option to hide apps
For MIUI, you'll want this:

and use the Mi-Tools module to be able to edit quite a few things including hiding apps.

Honor 8 X/EMUI app drawer

hey guys does anyone know if there is a way to make EMUI's app drawer not sort everything alphabetically but instead let me rearrange all the app icons in whatever order i want ??
I think your best bet would be to use a 3rd party launcher, like Nova Launcher, for example.
