Secret tricks to hide apps on iPhone iOS 11

Although Apple allows deleting system applications, this command does not apply to all applications, for example, the camera cannot be deleted, and you may not use its official application, but rather depend on another application; Also, you may only want to hide an application and not delete it, meaning that you do not want anyone to see it. So some people used to create a folder and put the applications in it that they wanted to hide and then put them in other pages and folders out of sight. However, it remains a weak, ineffective method, and easy to detect by intruders. So, can I hide any app on iPhone without jailbreak? Yes, you can do this in more than one way.


Recently researcher Jose Rodriguez discovered a way to hide these applications by doing several tricks, which are:

◉ Change the background to white. It can be downloaded from here.

This is an important step. Because we want apps to blend into the background.

◉ Adjust some settings by going to Settings - General - Accessibility - Increase contrast - and then turn off Decrease Transparency

◉ Download Icon Maker app

This app is no longer available in the store. 🙁

◉ Open the application and click on Create Icon to modify the appearance of the application to be hidden.

◉ Choose the application you want to modify

◉ Then delete the application name and choose the appropriate color similar to the background of your device so that it does not appear on the background of the device when installed.

◉ The icon will appear with you in the color you chose, without any names; Open the application, then click Install and allow the installation of the certificate of confidence in the amendment and add the icon to the iPhone screen.

◉ When you want to access this application later, or you want to know its location, if you forget, you can do this by long touching on any other application until the applications vibrate, and here X will appear on this hidden application icon. You can also use search to access and run the app.


Another way to hide apps is less complicated

The previous method does not work with all applications and also depends on your professionalism in designing a suitable icon with the background of your device; But there is another method that works with all applications and depends on an error in iOS, and it is as follows:

Clear the taskbar from applications by long pressing and dragging them to the main screen.

◉ Place the apps that you want to hide in a folder and then drag it to the taskbar.

◉ Long press on the folder until it vibrates, and during long press, double press the Home button until the application switcher appears, then drag the folder onto the application switcher. The apps disappear easily, and to find them, search for them. If you want to show it again, drag any app onto the empty taskbar.

This method does not work on iPhone X

NoteTurn off your phone and open it again: To show the applications again, "Restart".

You can see this method ...

This method relies on iOS bug so it can stop working in any system update

There are easier ways and adjust Apple's availability to hide applications, which are simply restrictions or (Restrictions) in English. We open them and set a password for them. Unless the activation of restrictions is closed

In iOS 11, what appears is the App switcher if there is no open app that is required to have at least one

You previously hidden apps by dragging the application to a full page and adding it to another application in a folder and pulling it again to the taskbar and leaving it and it disappears and the application does not appear on the phone except by doing a restart of the phone, but it can be searched and entered through the search bar

Peace be upon you. I have an off-topic question. I fully charged my iPhone 8 and left it at home. After 5 hours, I suddenly found the battery at 50% without doing anything on the device. I wonder if this has happened to anyone and what is the solution?
Thank you

We forgot an important condition in the second method, which is after completing the method, you must press the home button and exit the application vibration mode quickly, otherwise the applications will appear again after hiding them 🌝

Yes, you have hidden apps without jailbreaking by touching an application and pressing the Home button, Siri opens and the application is dropped.

    But there is something in the method which is that if the device is completely turned off and then turned on, the application will return to its place

    Why is your mobile phone without a secret lock in the first place and can take the hands of intruders?

It is not important to hide the applications, either it remains on the phone, or if I delete it, I do not get rid of the imprisonment of its data
