Is there a way to hide apps on ones fairphone without changing the OS or using a paid for launcher?
What do you mean hide them? if you don’t want to use them you can disable them and they won’t show via the Launcher > App drawer
For some you will require adb access to remove, like Youtube
For adb access see the following, although it’s detail is for a raspberry Pi computer you can download adb for Windows|Mac etc.
adb|ADB is short for Android Debug Bridge.
If you want to use adb you will have to enable Developer options > USB debugging
Developer Options are a set of settings that can be accessed via:
Settings > About Phone > tap build number 7 times
then
Settings > System > (Advanced) > Developer Options > ON
then
Enable USB debugging > ON
You can disable YouTube app, I’ve just done it.
Long tap it and choose “i” for “info” then “disable”.
The only app I found that needs adb for disabling is the file browser.

Whereas you are correct in that you can disable Youtube and it then will not show in the app drawer I had to use adb to remove from the app collection under Settings > Apps and notifications > SEE ALL ## APS
