iPhone Cydia question

[9huyna1]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if it was possible to hide installed packages (including under the advanced view). I let my little brother use my phone sometimes and I know he likes to mess around with Cydia; I'm just worried if there was/is any way a virus could/can get installed.

If I list all of the installed packages under Manage -> Packages -> Advanced, are there any packages or apps that are hidden/ not shown ever?

I really have no idea what you're talking about. You want to hide your installed packages so your brother can't install a virus on your phone? That doesn't make sense.

No, she's affraid her "little brother" will install a package behind her back on her iphone to snoop around
So she wants to know if "he" does that to her iphone will she be able to tell or if there is a way for the "little brother" to install something and the hack not to show up on the installed packages section.

No, I don't want to hide the packages. I actually was hoping there'd be no way for that to happen. I was wondering if installed packages COULD or could not be hidden so that, in the case that my brother accidentally downloaded and installed something that he shouldn't have, I would know and be able to take action.

A little cynical...but perfect

Install app locker and set a passcode so they cant go into cydia at all.

Thank you for the awesome suggestion; didn't realize how useful that app was!
