In this post, I am going to show you How to Hide Files in Android Without any App.
Sometimes it happens, when you’re using any application for hiding some precious data and after few days suddenly you remember about the hidden data and the worst things already happened with you.
When you’re trying to locate the hidden data and it been deleted automatically without asking permission then your frustration is on top and at the same time, you worried about your precious data lost by a stupid file hide application.
I am telling you what the reason is and why is this happens, If you want to hide data by using any application. It encrypts the data and sometimes junk cleaner application removes your encrypted data.
Junk cleaner application detects encrypted data as junk files because encrypted data can’t be executed by any file that’s why encrypted data become hidden.
That’s why I preferred to use this trick, easy to use and very useful trick.
