您的 iPhone 提供了多种方法来隐藏那些太尴尬或太容易上瘾而无法保留在主(Home)屏幕上的应用程序。例如,您可以将它们夹在文件夹中或将它们移动到App Library中。如果您安装了 iOS 14 或更高版本,您还可以通过禁用整个主屏幕页面(disabling entire Home screen pages)来减少混乱。
这一切都很好。但是,如果您想找到之前隐藏的应用程序,但又不记得如何访问了,该怎么办?幸运的是,您可以使用多种方法快速定位 iPhone 上隐藏的应用程序。
使用 iPhone 的搜索功能
iOS 有一个内置的搜索功能,可让您立即找到 iPhone 上任何已安装的应用程序,即使它不在文件夹或应用程序库(App Library)中的视线范围内。要开始搜索,只需在主(Home)屏幕上向下滑动即可。然后,键入应用程序的名称。
应用程序图标出现在搜索结果列表的顶部后,只需点击以将其打开或选择键盘(Go)上的“开始”。
如果您无法通过这种方式在 iPhone 上找到隐藏的应用程序,则必须检查它是否被禁止显示在搜索结果中。为此,请在我们的 iPhone 上打开“设置”应用。(Settings)然后,点击Siri 和搜索(Siri & Search)。向下滚动(Scroll)以找到隐藏的应用程序,然后点击以选择它。在随后的屏幕上,打开Show in Search(Show in Search)旁边的开关(如果已禁用)。
问 Siri
除了 iPhone 的搜索(Search)功能之外,您还可以使用Siri打开 iPhone 上隐藏的应用程序。使用Hey Siri语音命令或按住侧边(Side)按钮来调用 Siri 。(Invoke Siri)然后,说打开 [应用程序名称](Open [name of the app]),Siri应该立即答应。
在应用程序库中搜索
iOS 14 中引入(introduced in iOS 14)的 App Library会显示 iPhone 上每个已安装的应用程序。因此,您可以安全地从主(Home)屏幕页面中删除应用程序,而无需卸载它们。虽然您可以使用Search(Search)或Siri找到以这种方式隐藏的任何应用程序,但您也可以使用应用程序库(App Library)本身来查找和打开它们。
要进入App Library,请滑动到最终主(Home)屏幕页面的右侧。然后,深入到与隐藏应用程序相关的类别(实用程序(Utilities)、社交(Social)、生产力和财务(Productivity & Finance)等)以将其打开。或者,使用应用程序库(App Library)顶部的搜索(Search)字段更快地找到您要查找的任何内容。
如果要将应用程序库(App Library)中的应用程序添加回主(Home)屏幕,请按住图标并开始拖动它。您将自动退出到主(Home)屏幕。然后,在您希望它出现的位置释放该应用程序。或者,您可以长按应用程序图标并选择添加到主屏幕(Add to Home Screen)。
取消隐藏主屏幕页面
如果您发现 iPhone 中缺少许多应用程序,则可能是您之前隐藏了一些主(Home)屏幕页面。虽然您可以使用搜索(Search)、Siri或应用程序库(App Library)来访问这些应用程序,但您也可以取消隐藏包含它们的页面。
首先长按主(Home)屏幕的空白区域以进入微动模式(jiggle mode)。然后,点击扩展坞上方的圆点条。(strip of dots)在随后的屏幕上,您应该会看到所有活动和隐藏的主(Home)屏幕页面的预览。启用包含您要取消隐藏的应用程序的页面。然后,点击完成(Done)以保存您的更改。
在 App Store 内搜索
与搜索(Search)、Siri或App Library相比,使用App Store在 iPhone 上查找隐藏的应用程序不太方便。但是,它可以帮助您确定您是否删除了一个应用程序(而不是隐藏它)或使用屏幕(Screen)时间限制它(Time)
打开 App Store,点击屏幕右下角的搜索,然后开始搜索应用程序。(Search)如果它出现在搜索结果中,请点击打开(Open)。
如果您在应用程序旁边看到一个云形符号,则必须点击它才能下载该应用程序。(cloud-shaped symbol)之后您可以打开它。
如果您在点击Open(Open)时收到Restrictions Enabled通知,您必须允许应用程序使用 Screen Time。接下来我们将对此进行研究。
删除屏幕时间限制
Screen Time是一项内置的 iOS 功能,可让您监控和限制您的 iPhone 使用习惯(impose limits on your iPhone usage habits)。它还允许您完全限制(隐藏)几个本机应用程序(消息(Messages)、邮件(Mail)、相机(Camera)等)。
您无法通过搜索(Search)、Siri或应用程序库打开使用(App Library)屏幕使用时间(Screen Time)隐藏的应用程序。它们确实出现在App Store中,但您无法打开它们。访问这些应用程序的唯一方法是删除屏幕时间(Screen Time)限制。
打开设置(Settings)应用程序并选择内容和隐私限制(Content & Privacy Restrictions)。如果您的 iPhone 要求输入屏幕时间(Time)密码,您必须输入该密码才能继续。如果您不知道密码,可以使用您的Apple ID凭据重设密码。接下来(Next),选择允许的应用程序(Allowed Apps)并打开要取消隐藏的应用程序旁边的开关。然后,您可以在主(Home)屏幕上找到它们。
重置主屏幕布局
如果您想取消隐藏每个应用程序并将所有内容放回主(Home)屏幕上的默认位置,请考虑执行主(Home)屏幕重置。为此,请打开设置(Settings)应用程序,点击常规(General),点击重置(Reset),然后点击重置主屏幕布局(Reset Home Screen Layout)。
这将删除所有自定义文件夹,取消隐藏所有主(Home)屏幕页面,并重新添加您已移动到应用程序库(App Library)的所有应用程序。但是,它不会影响使用Screen Time隐藏的任何应用程序。
检查隐藏的应用购买
除了从主(Home)屏幕中删除应用程序外,您还可以在 iPhone 上隐藏应用程序购买(hide app purchases on your iPhone)。
如果您想查看已购买的隐藏应用程序列表(例如重新下载它们),请先打开iPhone 上的“设置”应用程序。(Settings)然后,选择您的Apple ID,轻点“媒体与购买(Media & Purchases)”,然后轻点“查看帐户”(View Account)。在随后的屏幕上,向下滚动并点击Hidden Purchases。
定位或取消隐藏
使用上述方法,即使是 iPhone 上最隐蔽的应用程序,也很容易挖掘出来。您还可以使用它们中的大多数在 iPad 上查找隐藏的应用程序。如果您知道其他方法,请在评论中分享。
How to Find Hidden Apps on iPhone
Your iPhone рrovides several ways to hide apps that are too embarrassing or too addictive to keep on the Home ѕcrеen. For instancе, you cаn chuck them inside folders or move them іnto the App Library. If yoυ have iOS 14 or later іnstalled, you can also reduce clutter by disabling entire Home screen pages.
That’s all well and good. But what if you want to find apps that you hid away a while back and can no longer remember how to get to? Luckily, you can use a number of methods to locate hidden apps on the iPhone quickly.
Use iPhone’s Search Functionality
iOS has a built-in Search that allows you to locate any installed app on your iPhone instantly, even if it’s out of view within a folder or the App Library. To start searching, simply swipe down on the Home screen. Then, type the name of the app.
Once the app icon shows up at the top of the search results list, simply tap to open it or select Go on the keyboard.
If you can’t locate a hidden app on your iPhone this way, you must check if it’s barred from showing up in the search results. To do that, open the Settings app on our iPhone. Then, tap Siri & Search. Scroll down to locate the hidden app and tap to select it. On the screen that follows, turn on the switch next to Show in Search, if disabled.
Ask Siri
Aside from the iPhone’s Search functionality, you can use Siri to open hidden apps on your iPhone just as easily. Invoke Siri, either with the Hey Siri voice command or by pressing and holding the Side button. Then, say Open [name of the app] and Siri should oblige immediately.
Search Inside App Library
The App Library, which was introduced in iOS 14, displays every installed app on your iPhone. Because of that, you can safely remove apps from Home screen pages without uninstalling them. While you can locate any app that you’ve hidden this way using Search or Siri, you can also use the App Library itself to find and open them.
To get to the App Library, swipe to the right of the final Home screen page. Then, dive into the category (Utilities, Social, Productivity & Finance, etc.) related to the hidden app to open it. Or, use the Search field at the top of the App Library to find whatever you’re looking for faster.
If you want to add an app within the App Library back to the Home screen, press and hold the icon and start dragging it. You will automatically exit to the Home screen. Then, release the app in the location where you want it to appear. Alternatively, you can long-press the app icon and select Add to Home Screen.
Unhide Home Screen Pages
If you find lots of apps missing from your iPhone, you may have hidden a few Home screen pages previously. While you can use Search, Siri, or the App Library to get to those apps, you can also unhide the pages that contain them.
Start by long-pressing a vacant area of the Home screen to enter jiggle mode. Then, tap the strip of dots above the dock. On the screen that follows, you should see previews of all active and hidden Home screen pages. Enable the pages that contain the apps that you want to unhide. Then, tap Done to save your changes.
Search Within App Store
Using the App Store to find hidden apps on the iPhone is less convenient compared to Search, Siri, or the App Library. But, it helps you determine if you’ve deleted an app (as opposed to hiding it) or restricted it using Screen Time
Open the App Store, tap Search to the lower-right of the screen, and start searching for the app. If it shows up within the search results, tap Open.
If you see a cloud-shaped symbol next to the app instead, you must tap it to download the app. You can open it afterward.
In case you receive a Restrictions Enabled notification while tapping Open, you must allow the app to use Screen Time. We will look into that next.
Remove Screen Time Restrictions
Screen Time is a built-in iOS functionality that allows you to monitor and impose limits on your iPhone usage habits. It also allows you to restrict (which hides) several native apps (Messages, Mail, Camera, etc) completely.
You can’t open apps hidden using Screen Time via Search, Siri, or the App Library. They do show up within the App Store, but you can’t open them. The only way to get to these apps is to remove the Screen Time restrictions.
Open the Settings app and select Content & Privacy Restrictions. If your iPhone asks for a Screen Time passcode, you must enter it to proceed. If you don’t know the passcode, you can reset it using your Apple ID credentials. Next, select Allowed Apps and turn on the switches next to the apps that you want to unhide. You can then find them on the Home screen.
Reset Home Screen Layout
If you want to unhide every app and put back everything in its default position on the Home screen, consider performing a Home screen reset. To do that, open the Settings app, tap General, tap Reset, and then tap Reset Home Screen Layout.
That will delete all custom folders, unhide all Home screen pages, and re-add all apps that you’ve moved to the App Library. However, it will not affect any apps hidden using Screen Time.
Check Hidden App Purchases
Aside from removing apps from the Home screen, you can also hide app purchases on your iPhone.
If you want to check out a list of your hidden app purchases (to re-download them, for example), start by opening the Settings app on your iPhone. Then, select your Apple ID, tap Media & Purchases, and tap View Account. On the screen that follows, scroll down and tap Hidden Purchases.
Locate or Unhide
With the methods above, it’s very easy to dig up even the most well-hidden of apps on your iPhone. You can also use most of them to find hidden apps on the iPad. If you know of other ways, do share in the comments.
