Some of Apple\u2019s apps are really good\u2026 others, not so much. I don\u2019t think that I\u2019ve ever used the Stocks app on purpose, yet it still sits on my homescreen day after day, taking up space. I\u2019ve put it in its own little \u2018useless apps\u2019 folder, but wouldn\u2019t it be better to get rid of it completely?<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, that\u2019s just not possible\u2014but there is at least a way to hide unused apps completely from the home screen\u2026 at least until your iPhone runs out of power and is restarted. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a new folder, and call it anything you like.<\/li>\n
  2. Put all the apps you want to hide in that folder.<\/li>\n
  3. Press and hold on the app you want to hide, then drag it onto the next folder page.<\/li>\n
  4. Then, drag it onto onto the third page but don’t let go. Press the home button\u2026 and hey presto, your app is gone!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can repeat step three with each app you want to remove. The apps will stay off your home screen until your phone restarts. They\u2019ll still turn up in search results, so you can run them again from search if you need to.<\/p>\n

    This only works with iOS version 9.0 to 9.2; earlier and you\u2019re out of luck.<\/p>\n
