Clever iPhone trick allows you to create a hidden app screen

THE iPhone has a whole host of new tricks to discover since the brand new iOS update was released.

Apple launched iOS 16 just a couple of weeks ago and iPhone fans are still discovering fresh hacks.

The latest little gem is a special hidden app screen feature.

It means you can keep some home screens out of view.

Perhaps this could be your work apps that you don’t want to see at certain times.

While it may be useful for some, don’t necessarily think it’s a way to hide things.

All the apps you display on it will still be findable – it’s merely the way you arrange it on said screen(s) that is hidden from view.

And it’s not secured by a passcode or Face ID.

If you want to give it a go, just follow these instructions.

Setting up a hidden home screen on iPhone

Tap and hold anywhere on your home screen until the app icons start to shake.

Now tap the dotted slider icon towards the bottom – it’s just above the bottom app tray, in the middle.

Now you can untick any screens you want to hide.

To see them again, simply repeat the process and tick them.
