How to Hide Apps from Home and Apps screens on Galaxy Z Flip4

Samsung phones running on the latest Android with One UI OS version allow you to remove apps from their original position on the Home screen or Apps screen. To make this happen, you will need to use an inbuilt Home screen function. If you haven’t already and want to see how it works, you can refer to this quick guide to hide apps from Home and Apps screens on Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4.

How about unhiding hidden apps?

If you change your mind and decide to put a certain app back to the Home screen or Apps screen, simply access the Hidden apps menu on your phone.

• To do this, navigate back to Settings-> Home Screen-> Hide apps on the Home and Apps screens menu. See the list of all Hidden apps then locate the app that you’d like to show. 
• Another method to view and unhide hidden apps is to long-press on any empty area on the Home screen then tap Settings on the next window to access the Home screen settings. On the Home screen settings menu, tap Hide apps on Home and Apps screens. On the next window, you’ll see all your apps including those that are hidden from Home and Apps screens.

Simply tap the Minus (-) sign on the top-left side of the app icon to unhide it. Doing so will remove the selected app from the Hidden apps section then added back to the All apps section.

To check and see the result, exit Settings then return to the Home screen or Apps screen. There, you should see the app shown among other app icons again.

Alternatively, you can search for the name of the Hidden app using the quick search function on your phone then long-press on the app’s icon from the search result. On the pop-up menu, you will see the options to Locate app, Add to Home and App info. 

• Tap Locate app to prompt your device to conduct system wide search to find the desired app.
• To make the app visible to the Home screen again, tap Add to Home.
• To view more details about the app, tap App info.

You can reposition the app to a desired Home screen or Apps screen spot by dragging the app icon from its original place then drop it to the new area of the screen you’d like.

And that’s it!
