That's the Hidden Apps folder. I've got one on my iPhone too and so does everyone with the latest iOS. You need face ID to open it but if you haven't put any apps in there then nothing will happen when you try to open it.

Scottrow ~ Please post some screenshots so we can distinguish the hidden folder you're concerned about from Apple's standard 'Hidden' folder which is present at the bottom of the App Library of all iOS 18 users:

You my friend are obviously not qualified to speak on this subject as they can literally upload an app while I'm asleep and then move the app into the folder marked "Hidden" and whatever you think you really need to learn about iOS APPLES SITE LITERALLY GIVES YOU THE STEPS OF HOW TO CONTROL ANOTHER APPLE DEVICE USING SWITCH AND THEIR WIFI LOOK IT UP and seriously consider the fact that Apple may be crooked and using our personal device data for studies that they literally publish and brag about. Check your facts next time before telling me what can and can't happen because in the real world Apple is mining our data and using hackers to steal our data this isn't some 400lb guy in underwear of mom's basement these people can hack your phone and you can't even tell unless you KNOW what to look for they always leave breadcrumbs!
