How to hide apps on iPhone?
On supported iPhone software versions, you can lock or hide an app so it requires authentication and stays out of plain view.
Why It Helps
- It adds privacy when you hand your phone to someone else.
- Locked app information is hidden from places like search suggestions or notification previews for that app.
- The feature works on the specific device where you set it, not across all devices automatically.
What to Do
- Go to the Home Screen and find the app.
- Touch and hold the app icon until the quick actions menu appears.
- Choose the option to require Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode, or hide the app if your version offers that choice.
- Authenticate and test the app to confirm it now needs approval to open.
Pro Tip
Not every Apple app can be locked or hidden. If you do not see the option, that specific app may not support it.
