If you prefer your iPhone home screen to be neat and tidy, you can remove all app names, folders, and widgets. We were working around this with some solutions in iOS 17 and previous updates, but Apple finally gave us an official feature in IOS 18 update To hide the names of applications, folders, and widgets on the home screen, the feature also works with the iPad on iPadOS 18.
With older versions of operating systems, it was possible to hide the folder name using a special, invisible Unicode character, such as Braille whitespace. You can also use this invisible character to hide the app name, but that requires a little more work than just renaming the app. To achieve this, you had to create a shortcut to the application in question, save it to the home screen by giving it a name made up of the invisible letter, and then hide the actual application.
In iOS 17 and earlier, customization of widgets was very limited, and the only way to remove their names was by sending them to the “Today” screen on the iPhone.
As for the iPad with versions of iPadOS 17 and earlier, the names of the widgets did not appear at all, so there was no problem in seeing the names of the widgets on the iPad. The problem was specific to the iPhone only until now, before the new versions of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18.
How to hide app names, folders, and widgets on iOS 18
In iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 updates, there's an easy way to manage app icons, app names, and widget names with just a few taps with the new Home Screen Editor.
Touch and hold on the wallpaper to enter the screen editor.
Click “Edit” in the corner, then choose “Customize” from the new menu.
A window will appear at the bottom. The only thing you need to change here to hide the names of apps, folders, and widgets on your home screen is the size. Instead of “Small,” just click “Large.” All icons and widgets will immediately grow larger in size, and hide their names.
This is how the final form is:
That's all. By enlarging the icons, the names will be automatically hidden, and you will get a clear screen with little noise or distraction. You may not prefer to enlarge icons, but it is still the current official method, and Apple may intend to put an option to remove only names without enlargement in one of the experimental updates.

I am looking for icons that are smaller than this. Do you want a smaller one?
Hello Maram Al-Fahad 😊, I apologize, but the size of the icons in iOS 18 is the minimum size currently available. It can't be made any smaller than that. Maybe they will add an update to this in the future, but for now, this is the smallest size available. 📱🔍
There is a problem with Siri. Every time I ask her about when an old series was produced, she tells me she found that on the web and here is what she found
Therefore, we hope that the new update solves the problems of Siri's stupidity in this version
Apple has added a wonderful and very important feature
Now you can specify the percentage at which the device will stop charging. You can specify the percentage of 80, XNUMX, ninety, XNUMX, and XNUMX.
Very cool. This feature is possible. Every time you charge the device, for example, it counts 95 cycles
Previously, Apple forced us to charge the phone up to 80, and the phone stops charging, and we cannot determine the percentage at all from the settings. Currently, this ability became available in the iOS 18 update.
I abandoned the main screen several years ago, and the reason was to simplify the main screen and make it difficult to see applications in order to reduce switching between applications and avoid distraction! The main screen has only three widgets, two of small size and the third of medium size (the new style)! On the right side are two widgets (old style) and on the left side is the application library! Thus, I succeeded in reducing browsing through a large amount of the home screen as well, other than what I mentioned above!
Try it, it is very useful even if you want to access an application that you forget. This is an advantage in my opinion, except that you will rely on typing to search for applications, which enhances your strength in studying. What am I looking for?
Oh, peace be upon this beautiful way, Muhammad 🙌🏻! Indeed, simplifying the home screen is a great step to reduce distractions and focus on what is most important. I agree with you that using the search feature to access applications may be a challenge at first, but it definitely helps in improving your studying power. Thank you for sharing this experience and benefit from it 🍏😄
addition! The bottom dock has placed four unimportant applications just to improve the overall look of the home screen!
Features are coming to the iPhone with a drop, how beautiful you are, Android, it's all about you...
Abdullah Al-Qahtani, 😄 We cannot deny that Android has great flexibility in customization, but on the other hand, Apple is keen to provide new features continuously, in an elaborate manner, and with high security. 🍎🔐 Every company has its own way of providing innovations, and the most important thing is that we, as users, benefit from these developments. 😊👌
🤣
It's good to get on board
Better late than never
Thank you 👍 for the great effort. As for the icons, why isn’t the size option small, medium, or large according to the user’s taste 🌹
