There are applications that by their very nature, although we want to install them on our iPhone, do not require us to announce it to the world. Although the only way to make an application not visible on our iPhone is to delete it and install it when needed, there is another approximation.
Without hiding it completely, we can make several modifications to make the app much less visible. Changes that will make it difficult for someone to inadvertently see that we have it. They’ll find her if they’re looking for her, of course, but we’ll have a little more privacy.
A bit of camouflage for applications
The first and most important thing to make an app less visible is remove it from home screen and leave it only in the app library. Hold it, press it delete app then in Remove from home screen. Another basic is turning off notifications. Here we have, in fact, several options.
The most important thing, and which shouldn’t impact how we use the app, is disable notification option on lock screen. The content of the notification itself would not be seen, but the notification icon would be visible to anyone approaching our iPhone. That said, for better privacy, it’s best to disable notifications altogether.
Or, at least, disable the strips to prevent anyth ing from appearing while we show our iPhone to another person. This way they will stay in the notification center, more protected from outside eyes
A way to greatly reduce the chances of someone seeing our application.
come in Settings > app name then in Siri and Search it is important that we deactivate Show on home screen, suggest an app there Suggestion notifications. With this we will reach does not show up in Siri recommendations in Spotlight or in app tips widgets on the home screen.
It is also important to disable Show app in searchwhich also disables Show content in search. In this way we will avoid the application and its content appear each time we use Spotlight.
As we have already said, the application will not be invisible. As with Hidden Contacts, someone who wants to find her just has to go to the App Library and type in her name. The same we are going to do to access it. The method is not infallible, but it is greatly reduces the chances that we display by mistake to someone we use a certain application.
