How to Hide Excess Apps on Your iPhone Screen

For many iPhone users, hiding apps has become essential to clear the home screen or protect sensitive apps from prying eyes. Fortunately, Apple offers several simple ways to hide apps without deleting them completely.

Follow the steps below to hide an app from your iPhone’s home screen.

– Find the app you want to hide from your device’s home screen.

– Long press the desired application.

– A screen will appear showing the option “Uninstall application”.

– You will be given the option to either completely uninstall the app or simply remove it from the home screen. Select “Remove from Home Screen” to hide the app without uninstalling it.

Here’s how to hide multiple apps at once from the iPhone home screen:

– Long press any empty space on your device’s home screen.

– The home screen will go into “wiggle mode”, which is indicated by app icons starting to wiggle, indicating that they can be modified.

– Look for the minus icon next to each app you want to hide, then do the same as you did when hiding an individual app.

If you hide the app instead of uninstalling it, it means you still want to use the app again. Although it may not be easily visible on your home screen, rediscovering a hidden app is not a challenging task. Follow the instructions to display the app you want.

– Swipe left until you reach the end of the home screen and your app library will open.

– Select the search bar at the top of the screen and then either scroll down alphabetically or search for the app you want.

And if these are not enough, here is a detailed method to hide apps in iPhone folder:

– Start by pressing and holding an app you want to hide.

– Step 2: Next, drag the app you want to hide to another app and release it when it overlaps with the other app. This will create a new folder that your iPhone automatically names based on the apps inside, but you can customize the name however you like.

– Step 3: Once you have placed all the apps in the folder, you can re-place them to hide them on another page. To do this, drag each app towards the right edge of the folder until it moves to the other side. Repeat this process for any other apps you want to keep hidden.

In particular, you can give your folder an inconspicuous name if you want. Just remember that all the apps that appear on the first page of the folder will still appear on the home screen, albeit in a smaller size.
