A TIKTOK tech guru has highlighted a neat way to give your iPhone a good spring clean.

In a video uploaded on Tuesday, the user who goes by @letsdodiz showed fans how to hide Home Screen pages.

The Home Screen on your iPhone is where your apps are located, and if you swipe left or right you’ll find multiple pages.

Following an update to the iOS operating system in 2020, Apple let you hide pages you rarely use.

It’s an easy way to hide apps you rarely use without deleting them for good, and keeps clutter on your Home Screen to a minimum.

The best thing is, the layouts of your pages are kept intact while hidden so you can easily retrieve them in you change your mind.

As @letsdodiz points out, if you want a truly minimal Home Screen – with no apps on it at all – you’ll need to employ this trick.

He shared what he calls the “blank wallpaper” trick with his 2.2million followers on Tuesday.

Hiding a home screen page is simple.

Zuerst, make sure any apps that you want to hide are stored on a page you’re happy to hide.

Then hold your finger down on the home screen until your app icons start wiggling.

Nächster, tap on the bubble with dots inside it at the bottom of the display – the one that indicates which page you’re on.

This will bring you to a Home Screen view that lets you hide individual pages by “unticking” Sie.

Once you’re finished, just click Done in the top right-hand corner.

The apps on your hidden pages remain stored in the App Library, which you can access by scrolling all the way to the right of your home screen.

At any time, you can unhide your hidden pages by repeating the steps above and ticking them.

To go with the blank Home Screen look, simply remove all of the apps from one page and hide the rest by following the steps above.
