Hello everyone, I am from China. I usually use signal telegram youtube and other apps, but the police in China think these are illegal apps and they check our phones randomly on the road. I need a solution to avoid the police check, does anyone have a guide for me? Thank you very much!

depends how they check the phone.
Some launchers can hide apps
You could also put these apps into a separate profile which you don't show to police?

    Exactly. Nova launcher can hide apps. Probably others too.

    The thing about another profile is that I don't know if they can force you to reveal your password to access it.

      If someone gets into your owner profile, they can go to settings and see apps installed in all profiles.

        Is it the youtube service or the program that they're targeting? If its the specific program and not the service, you could try an alternative client application, like NewPipe, which is actually WAY better because NO ADS.

          alex_herrero Yes, if they knew it would work, they would force me to enter my password.

          matchboxbananasynergy Thank you, it can only be prayed that they don't take their work seriously, maybe I should buy another phone and hide it.

          Your best bet is probably just to use it through the web browser.
