Hide
any iOS app icon from the home screen using the Newsstand. If you find yourself
interested in hiding icons in an out-of-the-way place, the Newsstand is great
because it provides an infinite-sized folder to hold as many apps as you want.
The
only catch is that as soon as you reboot your iPhone, the icons will reappear
on your home screen. In the meantime, you can access all of the hidden apps
using the Search function on your device.
Here
are complete instructions on how to hide app icons using the Newsstand without
jailbreaking your iPhone:
1. Put
all of the apps you're looking to hide in one folder, and make sure that folder
is located on the third page of the home screen.
2. Make sure the Newsstand
icon is located on the second page of the home screen.
3. Navigate to the third
page of the home screen. Quickly press the home button and immediately tap and
hold the folder with the apps you're looking to hide. The display will jump to
the first page of the home screen, then swipe left to navigate to the second
page of the home screen. iOS icons should be in wiggle mode at this point,
which means you can touch the Newsstand folderthen press the home button. The
folder you were trying to hide should appear on a Newsstand shelf.
4. Reboot your iPhone.
That's it, the apps are hidden and cannot even be seen inside the Newsstand
folder.
Again, to restore the hidden icons, simply reboot your
device and they will reappear on the home screen. According to iDownloadblog
this trick is the closest you can get to hiding an app icon without
jailbreaking and installing the tweak Poof.
