There is no doubt that, after its launch, iOS 14 has managed to position itself as one of the largest updates of how many Apple has carried out in recent years, mainly due to the enormous amount of changes and novelties that it has introduced in the popular operating system of the iPhone.
For example, it stands out for the introduction of widgets, which offer the possibility of fully customizing the home screen of our device, as well as other useful options and functionalities such as the application library or the very interesting image-within-image function (which allows view a video in a thumbnail pop-up window while we carry out other functions on the device).
But if on many occasions you have seen yourself scrolling through many pages of apps installed for a long time, but in the end you never use, it may be a good time to delete or hide them.
Deleting them is as simple and simple as holding down the icon of the app that we want to delete, and in the pop-up menu that appears, select the Delete app option. Again, we confirm by selecting Delete application , and touching Delete again.
However, if you are not sure what to do with them, because you think you could use them again, did you know that it is possible to hide them on the home screen ? We explain it to you.
Hiding applications from the home screen on our iPhone with iOS 14
You should bear in mind that if you use a version prior to iOS 14, the option to hide applications on the home screen, and keep them in the app library, will not be available. In fact, it is only available in iOS 14 and later versions.
To achieve this, we must press and hold the icon of the app that we want to hide, until a pop-up menu appears. Then, we select the Delete app option, and then select the Delete option from the home screen .
Once this option is pressed, the application will only be hidden from the home screen, and it will automatically move to the application library.
How to see hidden apps in the app library
To be able to access both the hidden application and the rest of those that we find downloaded and installed on our device, you just have to go to the application library .
To do this, we must slide to the page located to the right of our home screen. And then, if we can’t find it, use the search bar at the top to find the app that interests us.
