How To Use The XHide Feature Of XOS
|Can we have some privacy please?
Yes we can with the XHide app on XOS.
X-Hide is a great privacy utility that became available first on XOS v.2.0 – one of the great features of XOS.
The X-Hide feature allows you to hide Messages, Contacts, Pictures, Videos, Audio Recording and Apps inside your phone and you will be the only one who will be able to access the content.
The most amazing part of XHide is that you can also hide the XHide app.
How To Use XHide
First you need to set up the XHide app and setting up the app is pretty easy.
Go to the X-Hide App that comes pre-installed on all Infinix smartphone running XOS.
Tap on the application, set the four digit PIN (not SIM PIN) and you are good to go.
You PIN must be a four digit following ##. An example is ##1234.
Side note: If you haven’t upgraded your phone to XOS, here is the link to the XOS update for the Infinix Zero 3, Infinix Note 2 LTE and Infinix Note 2.
Launching The XHide App
To launch the XHide app, go to app drawer and find the XHide app or you can launch it by dialing ## followed by you PIN on the dial pad.
As early mentioned, you can also hide the XHide app from the app drawer.
To hide the XHide app, launch it, go to Settings, switch on “Hidden Mode” and then follow the instruction on the next page to fully activate hidden mode.
Once hidden mode is activated, you can only launch the XHide app by dialing ## followed by your four digit PIN on the dial pad.

X-Hide is segmented into 6 categories.
Communication: This is where you can send private text messages,calls and save your confidential contacts. Follow the prompts on the apps to use the feature.

Video: This is where you can hide your private/confidential videos.Follow the prompts on the apps to use the feature.
Records: This is where you save your private/confidential videos. Follow the prompts on the apps to use the feature.
App Hide: This is where you save your private/confidential Applications. Follow the prompts on the apps to use the feature.
With that you are done.

I want to sell my phone, how can i deactivate the X-Hide feature?
There are two ways to this, you can clear the hidden content and then give the new owner your PIN and they can set a new X-Hide password.
