After months using Android 15 on my mobile, I am clear that the best thing that this last update has brought is the anti-theft protection block, the private space and the application archives. But for the one I am more divided, it is in private space, A kind of discreet sand to save sensitive things Adding an additional safety layer, but also to separate profiles: for example, divide my personal applications from professionals.
And what could be more sensitive than the portfolio? At this stage of the film It is no longer necessary to wear a wallet (Although it is risky): I have cards in Wallet, I keep my driving license on Midgt, certain data and procedures in my Citizen file and for a few days, my national identity document in Midni.
Once installed and properly configured, all these applications require a biometric identification system for more security, but taking advantage of the best of Android 15, I gave a torsion and I transformed the private space into my high security digital portfolio.

In previous articles, we told you in detail how the private space works and also how to make your own space. As a summary, in 'Parameters'>'Security and confidentiality'>'Private space', After unlocking the function with biometrics, the option to create it with another account outside the standard or continues with it, in addition to the power Configure an additional pin that I did not hesitate to add. And who says Pin, also says the imprint or a pattern.
Then I only had to Install in my disadvantaged space the applications of my digital portfolioAs well as others such as Navarra's health application or that of the CL @ ve for procedures.
Thus, they no longer appear in the menu of standard applications (it seems that it has not installed them), but are hidden below, in the lower area. That is to say that At first glance, it is easy for them to go unnoticed Before a superficial gossip, but if someone tries to access it, no more than it: to visualize this hidden file, it will be necessary to introduce this pin, this imprint or its pattern.
In this way, even if someone knew my normal spit and so I could unlock the device (if we have four digits, nothing is a bit waiting to find out), He still could not access the private space. In this scenario, he would continue to appear as a group with an inductible lock: we do not know what is behind.
Everything above is very good, but I went further and in the adjustments of the private space itself, I activated the option of 'Hide the private space when blocked. ' Thus, this folder is no longer seen at all: in its place, it will be to look for it in the search engine for Android parameters.
It doesn't matter if I leave my mobile on the table or someone knows my spindle, go to my most sensitive administration applications They are closed to lemon and song.
