4 Problems Of XHide That We’re Gonna Discuss Today
Alright guys, so after publishing a post here about what Infinix Xhide was all about and the many benefits it came with. That post immediately went viral and spread like wild fire, but there was a problem, though not really from our end.
And what was the problem? A lot of people were complaining about Xhide on their own infinix phones, especially those people who have upgraded their phones to the latest version of Android 8.1 Oreo and their devices are probably running on any of the versions of either XOS 3.0 or 3.1 Hummingbird.

Some say they couldn’t find theirs, some say after using the app for the first time, they couldn’t use it again, and some other issues like that.
So instead of answering those tons of questions separately for each person, i decided to list out some of these issues and address them to the best of my knowledge..
And without further ado, let’s see what’s up with the first problem.
Now let’s get back to our original article..
Unable To Find The Xhide App
Now there are just two possible causes that might make you not to be able to find Xhide on your device. First is that you might have activated the “hidden mode” feature which automatically hides the xhide app’s icon from your phone’s app drawer, and the only way you can get back to it is by..
But if for any reason you also forget or cannot remember your already created special security code, then i bet you’d want to check out the next step below.
How To Retrieve Lost Or Forgotten Infinix Xhide Password or Special Security Code
Okay like i said up there, if for any reason you’ve activated the hidden mode, which means the Xhide app icon cannot be found in your apps drawer, except you use your specially created security login by dialing the codes into your phone’s dialer, but the issue now is, you can’t remember the code..
Well don’t panic. All you have to do in this case is..
But if once again, or for any reason at all, you also forgot the answer to your already created special security question, then there’s only one final solution to it.
And that solution is by clearing your XOS Launcher’s app data. Doing this will clear app data and cache for the Infinix XOS Launcher itself, and everything will be restored to normal just as it was when you got the phone new.
So every app that is linked to it, or has anything to do with the XOS Launcher, will be restored back to how they were before or where they used to be.
Apps like the XHide in question, Infinix App Freezer (in case you lost that one too), and every other Infinix XOS apps, will return back to their normal positions.
So in case you don’t know, here’s how to clear app data for Infinix XOS Launcher.
How To Clear App Data For Infinix XOS Launcher
PLEASE NOTE – That clearing app data for Infinix XOS Launcher, does not in any way erase or affect your phone’s data, just in case you’re scared about clearing it, i want to let you know that it doesn’t and will not affect your phone’s data in any way.
You are only clearing data for a single app and not the whole phone itself. So once again, here’s how to clear app data for Infinix XOS Launcher, in No.3 heading below.
What To Do If You Lost The Answer To Xhide Special Security Question
Okay like i said, if for any reason you forgot or lost the answer to your Xhide special security question, the best and only thing you can do in such situation is to clear the app data for your Infinix XOS Launcher, and here’s how to do it.
Then the second cause is that, you might have upgraded your phone to the latest version of Android 8.1 Oreo, and which simply means your phone is running on any of the latest versions of XOS, things like the XOS 3.0 and 3.1 Hummingbird.
So the thing is, for some reasons best known to Infinix Mobility as a company, many XOS apps that we were used to seeing on older versions of XOS like the Infinix App Freezer and this Xhide too, were not included in the newer versions of XOS Hummingbird.
I can’t really tell what their reason was for doing so, but i think maybe they are planning to rebrand those apps and make them better than they used to be before, or maybe it just happens as a result of these many bugs that always comes with newer software updates.
But what i know for sure is that there is this new app that is currently available on Google Play Store, the app’s name is “Phone Master” and the best part is that this app was developed by Transsion Holdings, the same company that produces Infinix and Tecno phones.
And inside this app, we could find our long gone Xhide, App Lock, and App Freezer. So this is another way to get back on the Xhide if you want it back that bad.

Xhide Refuses To Open Even After Inputting The Special Security Code Correctly
Now this is pretty different and more complicated issue than the one discussed above. So if for any reason your Xhide’s app refuses to open probably after you’ve hidden it.
Let’s say, after you’ve hidden it, and then you went to your phone’s dialer to open it, you put in that your special security code but nothing shows up.. well i can’t tell what caused it.
Alright folks, so that is pretty much the four problems that we could address for now.

Если держать в общей массе обычные фотографии и видео в перемешку с секретными, то в какой-то момент, можно случайно попасть в неловкое положение, «спалиться» перед другими людьми.
Чтобы этого не случилось, я рекомендую скрывать их от посторонних глаз в специальный сейф, доступ к которому, будете иметь только Вы, по заданному паролю.
Для реализации этой задачи, вовсе не обязательно обзаводится сторонним софтом, так как данная функция, встроена в систему Андроид изначально.
Ниже в статье, я покажу как ей воспользоваться, на смартфонах от нового китайского бренда, на примере своего HOT 20i.

4. В открывшемся окне, жмём на пункт «Перемещение».
5. Далее включилась защитная функция, жмём на кнопку «Старт». После чего нужно будет придумать пароль для сейфа и подтвердить его.
6. Поставленная задача выполнена, выбранный снимок исчез из общей массы.
Как самому открыть спрятанные файлы

What is Xhide?
Just as the name is pronounced “Xhide”, this tool is used to hide stuff on your phone that you want to keep away from the public. Stuff such as apps, pictures, videos, music files, and even contacts and messages.
Things you can hide, using Xhide.
What makes Xhide unique from all other similar third-party apps out there is the fact that Xhide has its own unique way of unlocking it.
It works by dialing an already preset code in your phone’s app drawer in order to have access to the files that are hidden in there, and this method is not common among other similar third-party apps out there.
But, this feature is only made available on Infinix phones, running older versions of android like Android 7.0 Nougat and 8 Oreo.
The code looks like this.
In addition to having its own special way of accessing the Xhide vault, the Xhide app icon can also, be completely hidden from your phone’s app drawer and home screen, so no one will even have an idea that it is there in the first place.
Sounds cool right?
So, today, let’s see how we can setup and start making use of the Xhide vault on our various compatible Infinix smartphones.
Remember, your phone must be running Infinix XOS 2.1 Chameleon UI (based on Android 7.0 Nougat), or higher.
And with that out of the way, let’s get started. .
– 4 most common Infinix Xhide problems, and how to fix them.
How to activate Xhide on Infinix phones.
First thing first, if you’re using an older Infinix phone, probably the ones running the Android 7.0 Nougat version, kindly go to Google Play Store and download the “Phone Master” app.
Or, you can save yourself the stress of going to the play store, and simply tap on the download link below.
: Infinix phone master app.
For those using newer Infinix smartphone models running newer versions of android, your phone should probably come with the phone master app already pre-installed in it.
When you’re done downloading and have probably installed the app too, open it up, and you should have an interface that looks this way.
Phone Master app’s home screen.
From here, go to the tab that says “Toolbox“, and scroll all the way to the bottom of your phone’s screen, there, you should see the “Xhide” option.
Tap on it to open it.
Infinix Xhide – Step Three
If you’re opening it for the first time, you’ll be asked to first set a unique code which will be used in opening it whenever you try to access the vault.
But if that wasn’t your first time of opening it, you’ll be asked to input your already preset code.
When you’re done, you should have an interface that looks like this.
You can tap any of the tabs to start adding items that you wish to be hidden in them.
Like I mentioned earlier, if you using an old model Infinix smartphone, specifically the ones running on Android 7.0 Nougat with XOS 2.1 Chameleon UI, you can activate “Hidden mode” for Xhide.
What this does is, removes the Xhide icon from your phone’s app drawer and home screen, and the only way that you’ll have access to it is by dialing that same unique code that you created, in your phone’s app drawer.
To activate “Hidden mode”, simply tap on the “Settings” option, and enable the toggle that says “Hidden mode”, and that’s it.
How to activate “Hidden mode” on Xhide.
Remember that this feature is only available for those using older models of Infinix smartphones, that are running on Android 7.0 Nougat.
