Hide unnecessary app icons
How many times have you used the Bourse application? Never ? Yet its icon takes pride of place on the home screen of your smartphone. It might be time to clean up your home screen. Unfortunately Apple's mobile operating system does not offer any functionality to remove or hide the native applications provided by default with iOs.
This was without counting on the persistence of iPhone users. By dint of tweaking their favorite toy, some have recently discovered a manipulation allowing the disappearance of system apps from the main interface. Obviously these are not deleted from the memory of your device. The icons are just hidden. You can still access it either through Siri or the Spotlight search system. Note that this tip works with any application..
How to hide apps on iPhone and iPad
Failing to uninstall them, we will see today how to hide the apps integrated into the iPhone and the iPad and which you have no use for. You can also use this trick to hide the applications downloaded from the App Store and thus protect yourself from the prying eyes of those around you.
- Go to the home page of your Android terminal
- Keep your finger pressed on the application whose shortcut you want to delete
- Then drag it to another "useless" icon to automatically create an application folder
- If you do not master the application folder creation technique on iOs I invite you to consult this tutorial: Create application sub-folders on an iPhone
- Give a name to your file by clicking on the gear
- Then drag these icons onto the last page of the folder you just created
- Then select one of the icons and while leaving your finger held on it you will press the Home button
- Release everything
- As if by magic, it will disappear from the file
- Repeat the same operation for all the icons you want to hide
Small important point, your applications folder must not contain a single icon. Without it, manipulation does not work. Nothing prevents you from adding applications and then removing it from the folder without going through the deletion step with the Home button..
To then access one of the hidden applications, simply slide the home screen down to reveal the Spotlight search and then type the name of it. Note, however, that this deactivation is only temporary. A simple restart of your phone or tablet will allow you to recover all your icons.
