How to hide apps that have been downloaded to iPhone

Apps that were previously downloaded to your iPhone in the Apple Store will display a cloud icon instead of the Get button with the brand new app. Other people can rely on this icon to know if you have downloaded this application or game to your device. To keep the applications that have been downloaded to the iPhone secret, we can delete them from the list according to the article below.

Instructions for hiding applications that have been downloaded to iPhone

For example, the ClevCalc application will display a cloud icon with applications that have been downloaded to the iPhone and deleted from the iPhone.

Step 1:

We access the App Store then click on the avatar icon in the upper right corner. Next, click on Purchased to proceed.

Step 2:

In the new interface as shown, the user clicks on My Purchases. This will display all the applications you have downloaded on your iPhone. Click on Not on iPhone.

Step 3:

In this interface, find the application you previously downloaded on your iPhone that you want to hide and then press and hold on that application. Now that the options for the application are displayed, we click Hide to hide the application that was previously downloaded to the iPhone.

Return to the App Store interface. The user will now see the cloud icon replaced by a Get button as with a new app that has never been downloaded to the iPhone.
