It’s all too common to want to keep Android apps hidden, with quite a few launchers offering a way to hide or disguise an app from onlookers. OnePlus and Samsung both even offer a built-in way to stash apps into a “Hidden Space,” ensuring your privacy stays intact if you ever need to hand your phone to someone else.

Can I install 3 copies of Twitter? When they ask what I'm hiding I'll just say XXX.

Yes. Samsung allows 2 managed profiles and the owner profile. There is the hidden folder, and additionally the work profile which you can activate with something like Shelter. So you can in fact install 3 instances of Twitter
