In the world of technology, iOS 14 has brought some exciting new features that can transform the way you interact with your Apple devices. One of these features that has caught the attention of many users is the ability to hide entire app pages on your home screen. This handy function allows you to streamline your home screen by decluttering and organizing your apps more efficiently. If you're looking to keep your home screen neat and tidy, this guide will walk you through how to hide entire app pages in iOS 14.
To start, make sure your device is running iOS 14 or later. To check your iOS version, simply go to Settings, then General, and tap on Software Update. If there's a new update available, follow the prompts to download and install it.
Once your device is up to date, hiding app pages is a breeze. Here's how you can do it:
1. Long-press on any empty space on your home screen. This will activate the editing mode, indicated by the apps wiggling.
2. Tap on the app page indicator located at the bottom of the screen. It looks like a series of dots, each dot representing a separate app page.
3. Once you tap on the app page indicator, you'll see an overview of all your app pages in a grid view.
4. To hide a page, simply tap on the checkmark located at the bottom of each page. When the checkmark disappears, it means the app page is now hidden.
5. Once you've hidden the app pages you want, tap on Done in the top right corner of the screen to exit editing mode.
Voila! You've successfully hidden entire app pages on your iOS 14 device. Now, you can enjoy a cleaner home screen with only the apps you use regularly visible.
But what if you want to bring back the hidden app pages? Not to worry, reversing the process is just as simple:
1. Repeat steps 1 and 2 above to access the grid view of all your app pages.
2. Find the hidden app page you want to unhide and tap on the previously grayed-out checkmark to bring it back.
3. Once you've restored the hidden pages, tap on Done to save your changes.
That's it! You now have the flexibility to hide and unhide app pages on your iOS 14 device with ease. Whether you're looking to streamline your home screen or temporarily declutter it for a cleaner look, this feature provides the customization you need to personalize your Apple device to suit your preferences.
