iPhone users will more or less download some Apps that they don’t want to be discovered by others, especially the Gentleman series. You may hide it deep in a folder, or change its name to something that is not easily suspected. In fact, after iOS 14, the iPhone has a hidden function. It can not only remove the App from the home screen (not remove and install it), but also hide the entire home screen page. This article will teach you how to operate.
Before reading the tutorial, remember to upgrade your iPhone to iOS 14 first. If you are not sure what version it is now, you can open Settings -> General -> Software Update to check.
How to hide specified Apps on iPhone

In addition, if you want to add the app back to the home screen or remove the installation, you can also click here. After long pressing it, you will see the function options:
How to hide the home screen page on iPhone
If you have a lot of apps you want to hide, it might be easier to just group those apps on one page and hide the entire page.
After long-pressing any part of the main screen to enter the jumping screen, press the horizontal bar above the bottom Dock to enter the main screen page editing menu. Uncheck the bottom of the page you want to hide, and then press the upper right corner to complete. This is successful:
To display the same edit screen again, just re-tick it. This method does not remove Apps from the home screen, so it is easier to restore.
