The capability to conceal applications on iOS 18 devices refers to the ability to remove app icons from the home screen and App Library, preventing casual access or visual clutter. For example, a user might want to remove financial or dating applications from plain sight to maintain privacy or streamline their digital workspace.
This functionality offers increased personal privacy and a decluttered user interface. Historically, users have relied on workarounds like placing apps in distant folders. A native feature provides a more integrated and straightforward solution, improving the overall user experience and potentially enhancing device security.
