TouchWiz home (the default launcher on the Galaxy S8) has a bunch of useful features, one of theme is the ability to hide apps.

Whether you're looking to tidy up your phone's app drawer, or you want to keep some apps out of view of others, here's how you can hide apps on the Galaxy S8:
  1. Simply swipe up or down on the home screen to pull up your app drawer
  2. Tap the 3-dot menu button in the upper right corner of the screen
  3. Tap Settings
  4. Tap on Hide apps
  5. Select desired apps you'd like to hide
  6. Tap APPLY in the upper right corner
To un-hide apps you've hidden, just go back into the Hide apps screen and un-select the apps you've selected.
