How to hide third party app and close it for search on iPhone or iPad?
The easiest way to hide a third party app is to put it in a folder.
Although this method does not seem reliable, most often it is the method that users turn to. To create a folder, simply drag and drop one application onto another. You can group the maximum number of programs and hide the desired one among them. The name for this collection is better to give some neutral – “work”, “utilities”, “other” or something similar.
In our example below, we hid the WhatsApp messenger in a folder, removed it from iOS search, and disabled its notifications.
Notifications from this application will also need to be turned off so that it does not inadvertently signal its existence. What’s the point of hiding the messenger in a folder if the program will signal new messages? You will have to go to the settings and pay attention to the section “Notifications”.
You will also need to hide the app from search and Siri suggestions. To do this, in the settings in the section “Siri and Search” scroll down until you see your application.
Click on it and disable all available options: “Analysis of this application”, “From Application”, “App suggestion”, “App in search” and “Isp. with Ask Siri”.
If in the settings “Siri and Search” you don’t see your app, it means it was already disabled earlier in “Screen Time”.
