Protect your privacy

Nothing OS introduces Private Space, designed to provide users with a secure environment to store and manage sensitive apps, files and photos. It acts like a digital safe, effectively protecting user privacy.

Features:
1. Additional authentication: to access Private Space, you'll need to go through additional authentication, such as a password, code or pattern, to ensure security.
2. Hidden apps: your apps in your private space don't appear in your regular app list, recent apps or notifications, making it impossible for others to view sensitive information even if they have access to your phone.
3. Separate Google account: you can create a dedicated Google account for your Private Space, providing further privacy protection and preventing private data from leaking into the main space.
You can open the private space from here: Launcher > App drawer > Private Space. Swipe right in the app drawer to enter (some languages may require a left swipe).

The privacy password is a separate password used for app lock and Private Space. You can set it up in Settings > Security & privacy > Privacy password.

We recommend you manually restart your phone once a week. This helps the phone self-repair.
