您想在Apple iPhone 和 iPad 上查找和删除隐藏的应用程序吗?继续阅读以了解最佳方法。
iOS 为您提供了多种方式来隐藏 iPhone 和 iPad 上的应用程序(multiple ways to hide apps on your iPhone and iPad)。这不仅有助于保护隐私,还可以减少主屏幕(Home Screen)的混乱。但是,隐藏的应用程序最终会占用存储空间。
如果您想从 iPhone 或 iPad 中删除隐藏的应用程序,但不知道或不记得如何访问它们,那么本教程中的方法应该可以帮助您。
1. 使用 Spotlight 搜索
您(Did)是否知道使用Spotlight Search是在 iPhone 和 iPad 上删除隐藏应用程序或任何其他应用程序的最快方法?
只需在任何 iPhone主屏幕(Home Screen)页面上向下滑动即可显示Spotlight Search。然后,在屏幕顶部的“搜索”(Search)字段中输入应用名称。在显示的结果列表中,长按应用程序图标,然后在弹出菜单上
点击Remove App > Delete App
如果您不记得某个应用的名称,或者您已将其设置为不显示在Spotlight Search中,那么以下方法应该可以帮助您。
2.检查内部文件夹
在 iPhone 和 iPad 上隐藏应用程序的最古老方法之一是将它们放入文件夹中。如果您的主屏幕(Home Screen)上有任何内容,请查看内部。如果您找到要删除的应用程序,只需长按应用程序图标,然后点击Remove App > Delete App。
像主屏幕一样,文件夹可以有多个页面(folders can have multiple pages),使它们成为完美的隐藏点。如果您在文件夹弹出窗口的底部看到多个点,请向左滑动以浏览它们。
3.取消隐藏主屏幕页面
如果您使用运行 iOS 14/iPadOS 15 或更高版本的 iPhone 或 iPad,您可以选择隐藏整个主屏幕(Home Screen)页面。要检查您是否隐藏了任何应用程序,您必须首先取消隐藏主屏幕(Home Screen)页面。
为此,请长按主屏幕上的空白区域,然后点击(Home Screen)Dock上方的页面指示器。然后,选中要取消隐藏的页面旁边的圆圈,然后点击完成(Done)。
完成后,检查您取消隐藏的页面并删除所需的应用程序 - 长按图标并点击Remove App > Delete App。随意(Feel)再次隐藏页面。
4.使用应用程序库
如果在文件夹中挖掘或取消隐藏主屏幕(Home Screen)页面听起来很麻烦,请考虑使用应用程序库(using the App Library)。它是一个集中的位置,列出了您 iOS 设备上的每个应用程序。
要进入App Library ,请从最终的(App Library)主屏幕(Home Screen)页面向左滑动。然后,深入到娱乐、社交(Social)、生产力(Productivity)等类别中,找到您要删除的应用程序。
您还可以使用应用程序库(App Library)屏幕顶部的搜索(Search)栏来搜索应用程序。找到要删除的应用程序后,长按图标并点击Delete App > Delete。
5. 访问管理存储屏幕
与App Library一样,Storage Management控制台列出了 iPhone 和 iPad 上所有已安装的应用程序,提供了删除或卸载隐藏项目的绝佳方式。打开 iPhone设置(Settings)应用程序并点击General > iPhone 存储以访问存储管理(Storage Management)。
然后,向下滚动应用程序列表,然后点击以前使用Spotlight 搜索(Spotlight Search)或主屏幕(Home Screen)找不到的应用程序。接下来(Next),点击删除应用程序(Delete App)或卸载应用程序(Offload App)。
提示:卸载会保留与应用程序相关的任何本地创建的文档和数据,这意味着如果您想重新安装应用程序,您可以从上次中断的地方继续。
6.查看App Store更新列表(App Store Updates List)
与Android不同,您不能使用 iPhone 的App Store搜索和卸载隐藏的应用程序。但是,您可以检查您的更新列表并删除任何具有待处理更新的隐藏应用程序。
为此,请打开App Store并点击您的个人资料图片。然后,执行向下滑动手势以开始扫描较新的App Store应用程序更新。
接下来,检查可用更新列表。如果隐藏的应用程序有待处理的更新,您可以选择在不安装更新的情况下将其删除。只需(Just)向左滑动列表,然后点击删除(Delete)。
7.使用屏幕时间取消隐藏应用程序
您是否在 iPhone 或 iPad 上找不到本地 iOS 应用程序(例如 Podcasts 和News )?如果是这样,您可能已经使用 Screen Time(using Screen Time)隐藏了它们。要检查,请转到设置(Settings)并点击屏幕时间(Time)。
输入您的屏幕时间(Time)密码,然后点击内容(Content)和Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps。然后,如果要删除的应用程序显示为非活动状态,请打开它们旁边的开关。
然后,使用上述任何方法找到应用程序并将其删除。请注意,iOS 不允许您删除出现在屏幕时间允许的应用程序(Allowed Apps)列表中的每个应用程序,例如Safari。
8. 使用第三方 iPhone 管理器
有时,您可能会在 iPhone 或 iPad 上删除应用程序时遇到问题(run into issues deleting apps on your iPhone or iPad)。如果您可以使用 PC 或Mac ,则可以使用(Mac)iMazing或iExplorer等 iTunes 替代品来解决问题。
例如,以下是如何使用 iMazing 删除 iPhone 和 iPad 上隐藏的应用程序。
1. 下载并安装 iMazing(免费版就足够了)。然后,通过USB(USB)连接您的 iPhone 或 iPad ,为您的计算机提供读取 iPhone 的权限,并验证您的 iCloud 或Apple ID。
2. 在 iMazing 侧边栏中选择您的 iPhone,然后选择管理应用程序(Manage Apps)选项以显示您设备上的应用程序列表(包括隐藏的应用程序)。
3. 突出显示您要删除的应用程序并选择卸载(Uninstall)。对您要删除的任何其他应用
重复此操作。(Repeat)
隐藏的应用程序不再
正如您刚刚发现的那样,删除 iPhone 或 iPad 上的隐藏应用程序相对容易。您可能不需要除Spotlight Search之外的任何东西,但最好了解替代方法以防万一。
如果存储空间仍然是一个问题,请删除其他不需要的应用程序(delete other unwanted apps)、备份和删除消息(backup and remove messages)、释放“其他”存储空间(free up “Other” storage)或投资外部存储设备( in an external storage device)。
8 Best Ways to Delete Hidden Apps on iPhone and iPad
Do you want to find and delete hіdden apps оn the Aрple iPhone and iPad? Read on to learn about the best ways to do that.
iOS gives you multiple ways to hide apps on your iPhone and iPad. That not only helps with privacy but also reduces the Home Screen clutter. However, hidden apps end up consuming storage space.
If you want to delete hidden apps from your iPhone or iPad but don’t know or can’t remember how to get to them, then the methods in this tutorial should help you out.
1. Use Spotlight Search
Did you know that using Spotlight Search is the fastest way to delete hidden apps—or any other app for that matter—on the iPhone and iPad?
Just swipe down on any iPhone Home Screen page to display Spotlight Search. Then, enter the app name into the Search field at the top of the screen. On the list of results that show up, long-press the app icon and tap Remove App > Delete App on the pop-up menu.
If you can’t remember the name of an app or you’ve set it up not to show up in Spotlight Search, the following methods should help you out.
2. Check Inside Folders
One of the oldest ways to hide apps on your iPhone and iPad is to chuck them inside folders. If you have any on your Home Screen, just look inside. If you find an app you want to delete, just long-press the app icon and tap Remove App > Delete App.
Like the Home screen, folders can have multiple pages, making them the perfect hiding spots. If you see multiple dots at the bottom of a folder pop-up, swipe to the left to navigate to flick through them.
3. Unhide Home Screen Pages
If you use an iPhone or iPad running iOS 14/iPadOS 15 or later, you have the option to hide entire Home Screen pages. To check if you have any apps hidden inside, you must first unhide the Home Screen pages.
To do that, long-press a vacant area on the Home Screen and tap the page indicator above the Dock. Then, check the circles next to the pages you want to unhide and tap Done.
Once you’ve done that, check the pages you unhid and delete the apps you want—long-press an icon and tap Remove App > Delete App. Feel free to hide the pages again.
4. Use the App Library
If digging inside folders or unhiding Home Screen pages sounds like a chore, consider using the App Library. It is a centralized location that lists every app on your iOS device.
To get to the App Library, swipe to the left from the final Home Screen page. Then, dive into the categories—Entertainment, Social, Productivity, etc.—to locate the apps you want to delete.
You can also use the Search bar at the top of the App Library screen to search for an app. Once you locate the app you want to delete, long-press the icon and tap Delete App > Delete.
5. Visit the Manage Storage Screen
Like the App Library, the Storage Management console lists all installed apps on your iPhone and iPad, providing an excellent way to delete or offload hidden items. Open the iPhone Settings app and tap General > iPhone Storage to access Storage Management.
Then, scroll down the list of apps and tap on an app you couldn’t previously find using Spotlight Search or Home Screen. Next, tap Delete App or Offload App.
Tip: Offloading retains any locally-created documents and data related to an app, which means you can pick up right where you left off should you want to reinstall the app.
6. Check the App Store Updates List
Unlike on Android, you can’t use the iPhone’s App Store to search for and uninstall hidden apps. However, you can check your updates list and remove any hidden apps with pending updates.
To do that, open the App Store and tap your profile picture. Then, perform a swipe-down gesture to initiate a scan for newer App Store app updates.
Next, check the Available Updates list. If a hidden app has a pending update, you can choose to remove it without installing the update. Just swipe to the listing to the left and tap Delete.
7. Unhide Apps Using Screen Time
Do you have trouble locating native iOS apps like Podcasts and News on your iPhone or iPad? If so, you may likely have hidden them using Screen Time. To check, go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
Enter your Screen Time passcode and tap Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps. Then, turn on the switches next to the apps you want to delete if they appear inactive.
Then, locate the apps using any of the methods above and delete them. Note that iOS doesn’t allow you to delete every app that appears on Screen Time’s Allowed Apps list—e.g., Safari.
8. Use Third-Party iPhone Manager
Sometimes, you may run into issues deleting apps on your iPhone or iPad. If you have access to a PC or Mac, you can tackle the problem with an iTunes alternative like iMazing or iExplorer.
For example, here’s how to use iMazing to delete hidden apps on iPhone and iPad.
1. Download and install iMazing (the free version should suffice). Then, connect your iPhone or iPad via USB, provide your computer the permission to read your iPhone, and authenticate your iCloud or Apple ID.
2. Select your iPhone on the iMazing sidebar and pick the Manage Apps option to reveal a list of apps—which includes hidden apps—on your device.
3. Highlight the app you want to delete and select Uninstall. Repeat for any other apps you want to delete.
Hidden Apps No More
As you just found out, deleting hidden apps on an iPhone or iPad is relatively easy. You probably won’t need anything other than Spotlight Search for that, but it’s best to be aware of alternative methods just in case.
If storage space is still a concern, delete other unwanted apps, backup and remove messages, free up “Other” storage, or invest in an external storage device.
