Here’s How You Can Hide Stock Apps In iOS 7 Beta 3

Apple has recently pushed iOS 7 beta 3 with significant performance enhancements over the previous betas, as well as a bunch of improved features like new fonts, updated Siri, Calendar, Safari and more (details here). However, an apparent glitch in the latest beta software allows iOS 7  users to hide any stock apps from the home screen, as noted by AppAdvice.

In order to hide stock apps on iOS 7 beta 3, here’s what you need to do:

Step 1:

First, you need to set up the home screen properly, making sure the first page of your home screen in completely full and has one folder available.

Step 2:

Now move any app that you want to hide to the dock.

Step 3:

Tap and hold on that app on the dock and immediately double press the home button.

Step 4:

As soon as the multitask switcher opens, tap on the home screen preview. You’ll notice that the dock app used is now larger and slightly tinted (see screenshot above).

Step 5:

Now open the folder on your home screen, get back from it and press the home button. Voila! the app has now disappeared from the home screen.

Step 6:

You can repeat the procedure as much as you want to hide any unwanted iOS apps. To access the hidden apps, simply use the Spotlight search.

That’s it, enjoy!
