Final answer:

To make a hidden folder on Android, rename the folder by adding a period at the beginning of its name.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a hidden folder on Android, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new folder or locate an existing folder that you want to hide.
  2. Rename the folder by adding a '.' (period) at the beginning of its name.
  3. After renaming the folder, it will become hidden and won't be easily visible in file managers or gallery apps.

For example, if you have a folder named 'Photos' that you want to hide, you can rename it to '.Photos'. This will make it hidden on Android devices.

Keep in mind that while the folder will be hidden, its contents can still be accessed if someone knows the exact file path or uses a file explorer app that shows hidden files.
