This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough on how to locate and efficiently delete hidden apps from your iPhone. The update reflects the latest features brought to you in the most recent iOS versions, ensuring that you are equipped with up-to-date information and can manage your iPhone apps effectively.
Discovering Hidden Apps on iPhone
With the introduction of the App Library in iOS 14, organizing and finding hidden apps on your iPhone has become more intuitive. The App Library is located on the last page beyond all home screen pages. Simply swipe left until you reach the App Library. It neatly categorizes your apps into folders and includes a search box at the top for easy navigation.
To tidy up your home screen, you can hide apps by moving them to the App Library. This way, they’ll remain accessible in the App Library, but won’t clutter your main display.
Deleting Non-Visible Apps Directly from Settings
If an app’s icon is not present on your home screen or a folder, you can still uninstall it through the iPhone’s settings:
- Navigate to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. Here, apps are listed by the amount of storage they occupy.
- Locate the app you wish to delete, tap on its name, and select “Delete App.”
The Quick Solution to Permanently Remove Hidden Apps
For hidden apps that cannot be found on the screen, consider using a tool like iCareFone. With this utility, you can remove hidden apps from your iPhone permanently, ensuring they won’t reappear during future iTunes synchronizations.
- Install Tenorshare iCareFone and connect your iPhone to your computer.
- Navigate to the “Manage” section and select “Apps” to see a list of your installed applications.
- To uninstall multiple apps at once, select them and click “Uninstall.”
Managing Apps in the App Library
The App Library in iOS 14 and later offers a convenient way to manage your apps. If an app is not on your home screen:
- Swipe left to access the App Library.
- Use the search feature to find the app quickly.
- Press and hold the app icon, then tap “Delete App.”
- Confirm by tapping “Delete.”
