Meanwhile, Pixel users now have the option to conceal apps and data within a new feature called Private Space, which is accessible through Android 15. This section provides a secure place for apps, files, and photos, keeping them away from prying eyes. It's almost like having a separate user account on your phone. 

Google Photos, Files, Chrome, and the new Pixel Screenshots app each have a private duplicate, laying the groundwork for Android's private space. Any app installed in this secret section will store its data in a separate file path, isolating it from your regular app drawer.
