To unhide apps on your Realme C35, the process varies depending on whether you're trying to reveal applications you've personally hidden from your home screen or app drawer, or if you're looking to view system-level applications and processes within your device's app management settings. This guide will cover both scenarios to help you find what you're looking for.
Unhiding User-Hidden Apps (from Home Screen/App Drawer)
This is the most common interpretation of "unhide apps," referring to applications that you have intentionally hidden using privacy features like App Lock or App Hiding.
Access the Hidden Apps Folder
Many Realme devices, including the C35, allow you to quickly access hidden apps with a simple gesture:
- Perform a Pinch-Out Gesture: On your Realme C35's home screen, place two fingers close together on the screen and then spread them apart (pinch out).
- Enter Privacy Password: You will be prompted to enter your privacy password, pattern, or fingerprint.
- View Hidden Apps: Once authenticated, a hidden apps folder or list will appear, allowing you to launch the apps directly.
Unhide Apps Through Settings
To permanently unhide an app so it reappears in your app drawer and search results, you'll need to disable the hiding feature for that specific app:
- Open the Settings app on your Realme C35.
- Scroll down and tap on Privacy.
- Look for and select Hide Apps or App Lock (the exact wording may vary slightly depending on your Realme UI R Edition version).
- Enter your privacy password, pattern, or fingerprint when prompted.
- You will see a list of apps. Apps that are currently hidden will have a toggle switch enabled. To unhide an app, simply toggle off the switch next to it.
Once the switch is turned off, the app will reappear in your main app drawer and on your home screen if you had a shortcut for it.
Revealing Hidden System Applications and Processes in App Management
This method is for viewing system-level components, services, and pre-installed applications that are typically hidden from the default "App management" list. This can be useful for advanced troubleshooting or to understand what processes are running in the background.
Steps to Show System Apps
The process to reveal these system applications is integrated into your device's settings:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap on Apps.
- Select App management (or sometimes simply "App list").
- In the "App management" screen, look for three vertical dots (or a similar "More options" icon) usually located in the top right corner of the screen.
- Tap on these dots.
- From the dropdown menu that appears, select Show system (or "Show system processes").
After selecting "Show system," your app list will refresh and expand to include all system applications and services running on your Realme C35, giving you a comprehensive view of all software components. While your Realme C35 runs Realme UI R Edition, this "Show system" functionality is a standard feature across various Realme UI versions for revealing system components.
