Hidden apps on DH phone?

DH has just passed his phone to me so I could copy a pass code for Disney plus and while on it he got called away to deal with something here for 3-4 mins… I don’t know what made me but I had a really quick scroll of his Home Screen on his I phone for unusual looking apps. Nothing, then I spotted some apps called ‘Hidden Apps’ that are facial recognition protected?? Looked like there were 3? He had LOTS of apps on his Home Screen, loads… why would he have hidden apps? What are they for? I’m assuming dodgy?? We are in a quite tricky marriage, I’m unhappy, DH is quite unpleasant some of the time and we are totally sexless have been for 10 years… part time of me is hoping it’s actually something dodgy as it might finally give me the kick I need to do something about it all! I’m also felling a bit of an idiot as I don’t really know what hidden apps are as I don’t use / have any?

anyone

I have a hidden section that has all my banking stuff in case my phone gets stolen. Just putting an alternative out there!

Me too

Mines the same. Added level of security for banking, PayPal and anything financial
