Apple announced the ability to lock and hide apps at Apple 's iOS 18 event.

Locking and hiding apps are related features that require Face ID to open them.

To unlock an app, tap "Don't Require Face ID" from the app shortcuts.

To unhide your app, swipe through to the App Library and scroll down to the Hidden Apps folder.

Certain apps are unhideable, so when you long press on an app you want to unhide, you might not have the option to hide it.
