The OnePlus Launcher is, unsurprisingly, the default launcher that comes pre-installed on OnePlus smartphones. It has a pretty clean UI with just a few essential features so as not to barrage the typical user with options. One feature that it does have is "Hidden Space," which allows you to hide applications from your main app drawer by swiping to the right when viewing your installed apps. It wasn't the most useful of features though, as there was no way of actually protecting the hidden space. If somebody knows how to access it on their OnePlus phone, they can access it on all of them. That's no longer the case, as the latest update for the OnePlus Launcher has added the ability to set a password for your hidden space. That makes it significantly more useful for people who may want to hide applications which may house personal data, such as social media or financial applications.
