🔹 Method 1: Hide Apps from Home Screen (Using App Library)
Tap and hold the app icon on your Home Screen.
Select “Remove App”.
Choose “Remove from Home Screen” (not “Delete App”).
The app will now only appear in the App Library.

Go to Settings > Siri & Search.
Scroll down and tap the app you want to hide.
Toggle off:
“Show App in Search”
“Show Content in Search”
“Learn from this App”
“Show on Home Screen”
This removes the app from Spotlight and Siri suggestions.
🔹 Method 3: Use Screen Time Restrictions
Go to Settings > Screen Time.
Tap “Content & Privacy Restrictions”.
Enable restrictions and go to “Allowed Apps”.
Toggle off apps like Safari, Camera, Mail, etc.
For third-party apps, go to “App Limits” or “Content Restrictions”.
Hidden apps will not appear until restrictions are lifted.
🔹 Method 4: Create a Hidden Folder
Tap and hold an app to enter jiggle mode.
Drag it onto another app to create a folder.
Move the folder to a later Home Screen page.
Rename the folder something generic like “Utilities” or “Tools”.
Add other apps to camouflage it.

Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
Tap the app and select “Offload App”.
The app icon disappears, but data is saved.
Reinstall anytime from the App Store.
