How To Hide App Names On Your iPhones With iOS 18 Features
Hiding App Labels in iOS 18
If you're using iOS 18, hiding app labels is quite easy. Just long-press anywhere on your Home Screen until the app icons start jiggling, hinting that you're in edit mode. In the top-left corner, you'll find an Edit button. After tapping this, select Customize from the menu that pops up.
A panel will appear from the bottom. It is actually where the magic happens. Select the options that allow you to hide app labels effectively.
Workaround for iOS 17
If you're on iOS 17 or older, don’t fret. There’s a workaround using the Shortcuts app. Follow these steps:
- Open the Shortcuts App
- Select Create Shortcut
- Choose the Apps you want to use
- Rename as desired without app names
This method gives you a clean, minimalist Home Screen while utilizing your favorite apps.
