How to hide/show your portfolio balance in Tangem Wallet

Whenever you flip your device screen downwards, your portfolio's balance will be hidden or displayed.
How the hidden balance feature works
Android and iOS devices have built-in motion detectors — accelerometer and gyroscope sensors — allowing developers to capture motion on a three-dimensional axis. This feature enables the detection of various user motions, such as tilting the phone, shaking it back and forth, and rotating it in a circular fashion.
When building our new app, we harnessed these sensors to bring you this cool feature. Now you can quickly hide your portfolio's worth at a moment's notice.
