How To Hide Apps On Your iPhone
So first you have to go to “Settings” and then tap on “Screen Time” on your iPhone.
Then you have to set a passcode. Once you’ve done that, you should go and tap on “Content & Privacy Restriction”.
When you tap on “Allowed Apps” and then enter your passcode, you will be able to see some apps from the view like Safari, Mail, Camera, etc.
Here you can also find some features that can be hidden like Siri & Dictation, AirDrop, CarPlay, and similar.
If you want to hide some social media like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and TikTok, go on and tap on “Content & Privacy Restriction” and then tap on “Content Restriction” and enter the passcode you’ve set before.
Once you’re inside, go and tap on “Apps”, here you will see that there is a limitation for underage kids. You can select any age you want, you have 4+, 9+, 12+ or 17+ and the apps will be hidden from the screen of your iPhone, they will be invisible.
This doesn’t mean that they are deleted, they are installed on your iPhone, and all the data is still the same, you just can’t see them.
When you want to bring back your hidden apps, just head to the very same place you went before. In “Content Restriction” enter your passcode and take off the age restriction by clicking on “Allow All Apps”, then you’ll have all the apps visible again.
