The Best Way to Hide Apps on iPhone. What Method to Choose?

Hiding apps on an iPhone is a simple process that can be done in a few different ways. The first and most basic method is to use the built-in “Guided Access” feature on your iPhone. This feature allows you to lock your device into a single app, preventing anyone from accessing other apps or features on your device. To use this feature, go to your “Settings” app, then select “General” and “Accessibility”. From there, you can turn on “Guided Access” and set a passcode to protect your apps.

Another way to hide apps on your iPhone is to use the “Restrictions” feature. This feature allows you to restrict access to certain apps and features on your device, including the ability to install or delete apps. To use this feature, go to your “Settings” app, then select “General” and “Restrictions”. From there, you can turn on “Restrictions” and set a passcode to protect your apps. Once you have restrictions enabled, you can go to the “Allowed Content” section and select “Apps”. From there, you can toggle the switch next to the apps you want to hide.

Another way to hide apps on your iPhone is to use a third-party app such as “AppLock” or “AppHider”. These apps allow you to password protect individual apps, hide apps from your home screen, and even hide apps from the App Store. These apps can be downloaded from the App Store, and once installed, you can set a passcode or Touch ID to protect your apps.

Additionally, you can use the built-in folder feature to hide apps on your iPhone. Simply, you can drag one app over another to create a folder, and then you can drag other apps into the folder. Once apps are in the folder, you can remove them from your home screen, and they will only be accessible by opening the folder. This method works well to hide apps that you do not use frequently but do not want to delete.

Lastly, you can use the “Offload Unused App” feature, this option will remove the app from your home screen but keep its data, so you can download it again later if you want to.
