Hiding Apps

Any suggestions on hiding apps on the phone, such as into a hidden folder that only the phone owner knows how to access? Walking around with a Bank App password protected or not gives opportunity for criminals to hijack your phone, demand password and clean you out. This is happening now, with the ease of Zelle and other banking apps there’s so much vulnerability.. looking for suggestions.
