📱 iOS - Hide Apps

Last updated on : 2021-06-11

Instructions

What you should know

  1. This uses the "App Library" feature, which is part of iOS 14 and later.
  2. The next version of iOS 15 - which will be released in September 2021 - will feature something called "Focus" which will allow you to better separate your apps. So once your phone receives that update consider reviewing which apps you show on your screens.

What you should do

  1. Press and hold the app icon for the app you want to hide.
  2. A menu will pop up. Tap on Remove App.
  3. A second menu will appear. Tap on Move to App Library.

This will hide the app in the iPhone App Library. Since it's easy to find hidden apps in the App Library, you can always change your mind and add it back to your home screen later.

Note that this is only a very superficial way of hiding your apps, and Apple doesn't allow more advanced ways of hiding your apps.
