Share This:

If you’re an iPhone user, you’ve probably noticed that your phone comes with a lot of pre-installed apps. Many of these apps are social media related and can be distracting. Fortunately, there is a way to hide these apps so they won’t appear on your Home screen or any other page. This will help you stay focused and organized without having to delete the app altogether.

The first step is to open up the App Store and search for the app you want to hide. Once you find it, simply tap on the “Open” button and then tap “Hide App” from the options that appear at the bottom of the screen. This will make it so that the app does not appear on your Home screen.

If you have multiple pages on your Home screen, you can also hide social media apps from them as well. To do this, simply open up any page and hold down anywhere until all of your app icons start wiggling around. Now, drag the app icon for whichever social media app you want to hide onto another icon or folder in order to create a new folder window.

Once the folder is created, tap outside of it so that all of your icons stop shaking and move back into place. Your newly created folder will now contain all of your hidden social media apps and they won’t be visible on any other pages or folders within your Home screen.

Hiding social media apps on an iPhone is easy once you get used to it! This simple trick will help keep distractions out of sight while still allowing access if needed in case something important pops up in one of those feeds!
