Every major Android update changes how apps access storage, permissions, and background processes. If you just updated to Android 14 or Android 15 and Calculator Hide App isn’t behaving the way it used to, you’re not alone — and the fix is usually straightforward.
Short Answer: Yes, Calculator Hide App Works on Android 14 and 15
Calculator Hide App is actively maintained and updated for compatibility with the latest Android versions. If you’re having issues after an Android update, the solution in most cases is updating Calculator Hide App to its latest version from Google Play.
What Changed in Android 14 That Affects Vault Apps
Android 14 tightened photo and video permissions. Apps now need to request “READ_MEDIA_IMAGES” and “READ_MEDIA_VIDEO” permissions separately, instead of the broad “READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE” permission used in older Android versions. Calculator Hide App was updated to handle these new permission requirements.
If your vault appeared empty after updating to Android 14, it’s likely a permissions issue — not data loss. Follow the steps below.
What Changed in Android 15
Android 15 introduced further restrictions on apps accessing files in the background and added new health and safety permission categories. For Calculator Hide App, the main impact is that storage permissions may need to be re-granted after the Android update.
How to Fix Issues After an Android Update
- Open Google Play and update Calculator Hide App to the latest version.
- After updating, open Calculator Hide App.
- If the app requests new permissions, grant them all — particularly “All Files Access” or the media permissions for photos and videos.
- Enter your PIN. Your vault should appear normally.
If your vault still appears empty after granting permissions and updating, see what to do when Calculator Hide App photos have disappeared — it covers the specific steps for permission-related vault issues.
How to Grant Storage Permissions Manually
- Go to your Android Settings.
- Tap Apps > Calculator Hide App.
- Tap Permissions.
- Enable Storage (or Photos and Videos on Android 14+). Set it to “Allow all the time” or “Allow access to all files.”
- Return to Calculator Hide App and enter your PIN.
Specific Known Issues and Fixes
Vault appears empty after Android update
This is a storage permission issue in almost all cases. Re-grant storage permissions as described above and restart the app.
App Hider not showing all installed apps
Android 14 added restrictions on apps querying the full list of installed packages. Update Calculator Hide App — the latest version requests the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission which resolves this.
Biometric unlock stopped working
Some Android updates reset biometric app permissions. Go to Settings > Apps > Calculator Hide App > Permissions and re-enable biometric access. Then re-enable it inside the app’s security settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to reinstall Calculator Hide App after an Android update?
No. Updating the app from Google Play is sufficient in most cases. Only reinstall if support specifically advises it — and always back up your vault first if you do.
Will an Android update delete my hidden photos?
Android updates do not delete app data. However, if a permission is revoked during the update, the app temporarily cannot read its own encrypted folder — making it appear empty. Re-granting the permission restores access.
