How to Hide Home Screen Pages iOS 14

 Hiding Home Screen Pages on Your iPhone

On your iPhone running iOS 14, to hide an entire home screen page, you'll need to enter the home screen editor. Before





you could do that by long-pressing an app or folder until the quick actions menu comes and goes, or you could select "Edit Home Screen" from any app or folder's quick actions.

Those still apply in iOS 14, but you can also long-press on your wallpaper to jump right into the editor. Plus, you can long-press a widget or widget stack until the editor jiggles everything or you choose "Edit Home Screen" from its quick actions.

You'll see many options appear on the screen in iOS 14's home screen editor, like add (+) sign on the top (it's for widgets). Above the dock at the bottom of the screen, you'll see dots for each page you have. Before you can edit the Home screen after three dots turn into a gray background button Tap on that to view and manage your home screen pages.

Previews of you all home pages will appear on your screen, scroll to see them all. To hide a home page, simply tap on the checked circle underneath the preview to uncheck it. You need to have at least one page checked, so you can't make them all invisible.

Once you uncheck the home page or pages you want to hide, tap on "Done"(tap on you Home button) 

Now you the hidden home page or pages will no longer appear. However, you'll still have access to the apps.

Note that the first time you hide a home screen page, iOS will automatically think you want to hide all future apps you install on your iPhone from the home screen. That means all newly installed apps will go only to the App Library. To fix this, disable the option in Settings.

Open Apps from Hidden Home Screen Pages

From any home screen page, swipe left until you reach your App Library. If you're looking for a specific app, type it into the search bar at the top of the screen, or scroll through the list of apps that appears after tapping the search bar or swiping down on the App Library.

How to Bring Back Hidden Home Screen Pages

Go back into the home screen editor, tap the page dots button for editing pages, touch the circle underneath the grayed out page to check it, then exit the editor. This will bring back your page, with all of its applications, back to the same place where it was before on your home screen.
