How To Unhide Apps On iPhone: A Step-By-Step Guide

As previously mentioned, all installed apps land in the App Library, where they will be organized into appropriate categories. At the top of the list are usually the apps that you use the most, along with a folder containing recently downloaded ones. If you prefer to see all your apps, you can swipe down on the App Library page to switch to an alphabetical list view.

If you previously hid an app from your iPhone home screen, since the app isn’t actually deleted, you can unhide and resurface it on the main page from the App Library by doing the following:

While on your iPhone’s main home screen, swipe left.If you see the icon of the app you want to unhide and re-add to your home screen, long-press on it.Do one of the following:

Let go and tap “Add to Home Screen” from the menu that will pop up, or

Keep it pressed and drag the icon onto the home screen.

If you did the latter, all the apps on the home screen should be jiggling. Hit Done to finalize the action.

Based on testing, not all apps that appear in the App Library category will have the “Add to Home Screen” option when you long-press and let go of the app icon. If that is the case, dragging the icon to the home screen and tapping Done should do the trick. Alternatively, you can also swipe down on the App Library page, long-press on an app icon from the list, and drag your finger to the left without letting go to move a copy of it to the home screen. Note that some precaution is recommended when unhiding apps this way to avoid accidentally deleting an app.
