How to hide an app from the iPhone home

iOS 14 has finally brought the "App Library", or a sort of app drawer capable of storing all the applications downloaded on your device. In this way it will be possible to simplify the main home which will limit itself to showing only the main and preferred applications by the user. In this article we are going to see how to use the aforementioned function.

Hide an app from the iPhone home

Before starting, we remind you that the application library is only available on the iPhone a starting with iOS 14. For this reason, before following the procedure, we invite you to check that the aforementioned software is installed on your device. 



  • Go to the iPhone home
  • Press and hold on the app you want to hide for a while 
  • click "Remove app"
  • Choose the option "Move to app library"
