Android 15 beta 2 debuts a private space feature that lets you hide apps and app content, and I think the iPhone needs it, too.
The opening keynote for Google I/O 2024 was dedicated entirely to AI. Once the main attraction of Google's developer conference, Android was relegated to a support role to help make Gemini AI shine. That is, Google only addressed the big AI features coming to Android 15 this year. It left everything else for the second day of the show. Google then announced the release of Android 15 beta 2 yesterday.
With direct OS integration, private space offers enhanced protection for sensitive apps, isolating their data and notifications from the rest of your phone. You can also set up a separate lock for private space and hide the existence of it altogether. Google offers a brief video explaining how private space works. You'll use your fingerprint or a separate password to unlock it. At that point, you'll see a folder of apps that you want to hide from the main home screen.
