Hide apps completely

[AC Question]

I want to hide a few apps completely from my phone so that I wouldn't even know they're there. I guess sort of like those spy apps. I don't want them to show up even on the installed applications list, I don't want them just in a drawer or whatever. I tried renaming the apps and changing their icons, but that just voids their signatures. Can anyone please help me? It's quite urgent.
Thanks!

Sounds like midlife crisis.

Just stay out of it honey as i stated @ 27. Its not you're responsibility, regardless if she wants you're help about her child. I would take Golf's advice @ 27 & mention a basic phone to you're friend if she's really that worried. I have a 17 yr old & as long as shes under my roof until she goes in the Military, a basic phone was what she got. "Its not fair" Well guess what "life isn't fair" etc. Turn off SMS/MMS & if she still complains about her child not having the same thing as her friends, i don't know what else to say. Be straight up with her that you tried but its impossible to get what she wants. 3rd party apps & lock apps together. Safe mode "may" be the only way. It's close enough when you stop & think about it. Setting up a sting, will only cause the child to do more damage & act otherwise.

Thanks. I'll try that.

No problem honey. Sometimes friends needs a reality check. She has to be realistic. You know? Ppl in general want friends who are honest no matter how ugly it sounds but they will ask for different advices from you, with trust, in the future. Its impossible if shes that picky, but, im sure a system like that is somewhere (maybe) but rarely of us look (or need) for those types of apps. Maybe Google & not @ the play store. Be careful when you check unknown sources. Some apks are viruses. Half my apps came from Google by being aware of where its from. Best of luck.

But to be on the safe side, my advice, take Golfs advice & go basic. Everyone wins.
