How to hide an individual app on iPhone<\/h3>\n
A quick and easy way to hide an app from your iPhone is to remove it from the Home Screen. That way, you can still access the app when you need it. Not only is this an effective way of hiding apps, but it also helps you stay away from apps that consume much of your time so you can focus on things that matter more.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Touch and hold the app<\/strong> you want to hide and tap on the Remove App<\/strong> option in the context menu.<\/li>\n
- Choose the Remove from Home Screen<\/strong> option from the subsequent menu.\n

How to hide an entire page of apps from iPhone Home Screen<\/h3>\n
While you can use the previous method to hide an individual app on your iPhone, if you want to hide multiple apps, it’s best to put them onto a Home Screen and hide it.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Move all the apps you want to hide to a separate Home Screen. You can create a new Home Screen by dragging the app all the way to the right until an empty screen appears.<\/li>\n
- Tap and hold on an empty<\/strong> area<\/strong> on the Home Screen until all app icons begin to jiggle.<\/li>\n
- Hit the page dots<\/strong> at the bottom of the Home Screen to view all your Home Screens.<\/li>\n
- Next, untick<\/strong> the Home Screen you want to hide.<\/li>\n
- Finally, tap the Done<\/strong> button in the top-right corner, and all the apps on that Home Screen will be hidden.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

This method can be termed as an add-on to the previous two methods because even if you remove the apps from the Home Screen, they will still appear in your Siri Search results and suggestions. Follow the steps below to hide the removed apps from Siri & Search:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Open the Settings<\/strong> app and head to Siri & Search<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Scroll down and select the app you want to hide from Search suggestions.<\/li>\n
- Toggle off Show App in Search, Show on Home Screen,<\/strong> and Suggest App<\/strong>.\n
Once done, the particular app won’t appear in the search results or Siri suggestions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nHow to hide apps using Screen Time on iPhone<\/h3>\n
If you’ve ever used Screen Time on your iPhone, you’d know that it offers built-in parental controls that add a layer of control over all the downloaded apps and content on your iPhone. This workaround helps to keep the apps hidden from nosy friends and clever kids who have easy access to your iPhone.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Open Settings<\/strong> and navigate to Screen Time<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Here, tap the Content & Privacy Restrictions<\/strong> tab and make sure the toggle for Content & Privacy Restrictions<\/strong> is turned on.\n
<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- Next, tap on Allowed Apps & Features<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Now, toggle off the stock apps you want to hide on your iPhone.\n
<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nWhile this method is useful, it can only hide pre-installed or stock apps on an iPhone. If you find this limiting, you can use Screen Time on iPhone<\/a> to hide apps based on their age rating on the App Store.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Open Settings<\/strong> and go to Screen Time<\/strong> \u2192 Content & Privacy Restriction<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Check whether the Content & Privacy Restriction<\/strong> is enabled.<\/li>\n
- Here, tap on Store, Web, Siri & Game Center Content<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Next, locate and tap the Apps<\/strong> tab, and choose to hide the apps based on their age rating on the App Store.\n
<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nOnce you’ve selected the age rating or stock apps you want to hide, I suggest locking your Screen Time settings so that only you can change them again.<\/p>\n
- Check whether the Content & Privacy Restriction<\/strong> is enabled.<\/li>\n
- Here, tap the Content & Privacy Restrictions<\/strong> tab and make sure the toggle for Content & Privacy Restrictions<\/strong> is turned on.\n
- Hit the page dots<\/strong> at the bottom of the Home Screen to view all your Home Screens.<\/li>\n
- Choose the Remove from Home Screen<\/strong> option from the subsequent menu.\n
