SkyHighTech if you hide apps in private space..whatsapp instagram or any social media app not working in background in private space..these apps work only when you use private space..no message no notification nothing…this is a problem..all apps will be isolated until you open private space.

I would like to move my photos to the Private Space, but I am currently unable to do so using the available features.

Currently, if I want a photo in the Private Space, I have to take it using the Private Camera, which is not convenient.

I would prefer the option to move photos, files, and apps to the Private Space manually, as per my choice.

Kindly consider adding this feature for better flexibility and user experience.

SHARATH S you can import and export files from private space. access private space from the launcher and above private camera you should see private files. the + indicates move a file from main to private. the - indicates moving a file from private to public

I discovered a privacy issue on my phone where contacts stored in Private Space are still visible when using the global search feature. For example, if I search for a letter like “c” in the main space, it shows contacts that are supposed to be hidden in the Private Space.

I updated my phone 2 yesterday to the new update and I had my apps in the hidden drawer but when I created a private space this made errors and file corruption for some programs.
I had an app limit for chrome to not use it more than an hour but the private space made parental control unable to edit the time for chrome and I was stuck with the app closed and even removing it from private space didn’t solve it but it was fixed when I deleted the private space.
I had aethers2x in my hidden drawer and after the update all games became very laggy and were unplayable and after investigating I found out that the save files were corrupted and They worked fine after making a new save file.
So just in case for any other accident remove all your apps from the hidden drawer before updating the phone.

My private space is missing. I had hidden some apps, but now they are also missing, and I cannot access them. The Nothing OS is becoming problematic. My device is the Nothing 2A.
Is there anyone have faced some issues?

Can we have Hide back again please? I can’t get Settings or the SIM card app off my app list.

AdamMace Hey mate, I’d suggest logging this as feedback via settings > system > feedback. It directs feedback to the Nothing team who may address it.

After a recent OS upgrade, I attempted to set the “Added Security/Privacy Password” feature on my device. Unfortunately, a random password seems to have been set by mistake, and now it does not accept the correct password I try to enter.

As a result, many of my apps are locked, and I’m unable to access them. For now, I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall some apps just to bypass the lock, which isn’t a sustainable solution.

What I’m looking for:

A way to remove apps from this security layer
OR steps to reset the added security password without performing a hard reset

I’d really prefer to avoid a full factory reset, as I have important data and configurations on the device.

I appreciate any help or guidance you can provide on this issue.

Thank you!

gaurav_c hey mate. Sorry to hear this. As far as I know your only way of ‘resetting’ your private space is by backing up the device and factory resetting it. There’s no other way to access the apps within it or, the space if you’ve forgotten your password.

hrry This is incorrect. In Samsung Secure Folder, an app is copied into the Secure Folder and you need to set it up again, meaning the account details are not copied. If I copy Instagram, I have to login again, so I can use a different account. In Nothing’s Private Space, the app is just moved, so it’s the same account that you logged into in the main space. After moving to Private, the app is just hidden from the main space.

There is also no option for Play Store in the Private Space, so you can’t log into a different Google account. You can however have separate files and photos in the Private Space.
