How to Organize and Hide iPhone Home Screen Pages

Step by step

1. 15 sec

   Enter Jiggle Mode to access page management

   Long-press any empty area on your Home Screen until the application icons begin to vibrate. This is known as Jiggle Mode and indicates that your layout is ready for modification.

   Note: Avoid holding down on an app icon itself, as this may trigger the Quick Actions menu instead.

   Open the page edit interface

   While in Jiggle Mode, tap the row of dots located directly above the Dock at the bottom of the screen. This displays a thumbnail view of all your existing Home Screen pages.

3. 30 sec

   Toggle page visibility

   Locate the checkmark icon beneath the preview of each Home Screen page. Tap the checkmark to deselect it; the page will no longer appear when swiping through your device.

   Note: Hiding a page does not delete the apps contained within it; they remain accessible via the App Library.
4. 30 sec

   Remove unwanted pages entirely

   To permanently delete a page and its current layout, tap the minus (-) icon in the top-left corner of the page thumbnail. Confirm the removal by tapping Delete in the pop-up menu.

   Note: Deleting a page moves the apps on that page to the App Library.

   Exit edit mode to finalize
