How to Find Hidden Apps on an iPhone: A Comprehensive Guide

Interested in learning how to uncover hidden apps on your husband's iPhone? This guide will walk you through the process of locating and recovering misplaced or hidden apps through various methods. Follow these steps to regain control of your device and ensure that no app is lost.

Understanding Hidden Apps on an iPhone

Apps can be hidden either intentionally or accidentally. Maybe you have intentionally moved an app into a folder to declutter your Home screen and then forgot, or perhaps you have been searching tirelessly without any luck. Fortunately, there are effective ways to bring these hidden apps back into view. In this guide, we will explore three simple methods to help you find those hidden gems.

Method 1: Unhide iOS Apps through the App Store

Recovering hidden apps via the App Store is an easy and straightforward process. Follow these steps to bring back any hidden apps:

Open the App Store. Tap on the profile icon or your photo in the upper right corner. Tap on your Apple ID. Note: You might need to enter your Apple ID password if prompted. Use FaceID or TouchID if available. Tap on 'Hidden Purchases' to find hidden apps. Here, you can select the apps you wish to unhide and then tap 'Unhide.'

Method 2: Use Spotlight Search to Find Hidden Apps

Apples spotlight search is designed to help you find content based on your app usage, browsing history, messages, contacts, media, and more. This feature makes it easier to locate hidden apps on your iPhone. Here's how:

Swipe down from the middle of any home screen, and you'll see a search box at the top of the screen. Enter the name of the application correctly. If you do not see the app, tap on 'Search.' Look for the app at the top of the search list. If the corresponding application is hidden in a separate folder, its name will appear to the right of the folder icon. Tap on it to open the app. If you no longer have the app on your iPhone, a view option will appear next to the app icon. Click it to download the app from Apples App Store. Check that you have typed the exact app name to ensure no mistakes were made.

Method 3: Utilize Siri to Find Hidden Apps

Siri, Apple's voice assistant, can perform many commands for iPhone users, making it easier to find hidden apps without needing to navigate through folders. All you need to do is ask Siri:

State the name of the app you want to open. Note, however, that Siri will not tell you which folder contains hidden apps.
