Simplify Your iPhone: Hide App Names in iOS 18 for a Clean, Modern Look

With the release of iOS 18, Apple continues to offer more customization options for iPhone users. One of the lesser-known but highly desired features is the ability to hide app names on your home screen. Whether you’re aiming for a minimalist look or just want to keep your screen decluttered, this guide will show you how to hide app names on your iPhone running iOS 18.

Step-by-Step Guide to Hiding App Names

Update to iOS 18
Before you start, ensure your iPhone is updated to iOS 18. Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install the latest version if you haven’t already.

Enable App Library
iOS 18 leverages the App Library feature, which automatically organizes your apps and helps with hiding app names. If you haven’t set up App Library, go to Settings > Home Screen and select App Library Only under “New App Downloads.”

Use Widgets to Replace App Icons
Another method to hide app names is by using widgets:

• Long press on your home screen until the icons start wiggling.
• Tap the + icon in the top left corner to open the widget menu.
• Choose a widget that suits your needs and place it on your home screen.

Create Custom App Icons
To completely remove app names, you can create custom app icons without labels:

• Download a free app like Shortcuts from the App Store if you haven’t already.
• Open the Shortcuts app, tap + to create a new shortcut, and select Add Action.
• Choose Scripting > Open App, and select the app you want to customize.
• Tap the three dots in the top right, then Add to Home Screen.
• Tap the icon next to the shortcut name, select Choose Photo or Take Photo, and pick an image without any text.
• Leave the name field blank and tap Add.

Hide Apps in the App Library
If you prefer not to see the app names at all, hide them in the App Library:

• Long press the app you want to hide.
• Select Remove App > Move to App Library.

Benefits of Hiding App Names

• Enhanced Aesthetics: A clean, minimalist home screen can be visually appealing and reduce distractions.
• Improved Focus: Without app names cluttering your screen, it’s easier to focus on your tasks.
• Customization: Tailor your iPhone’s appearance to reflect your personal style.
