Troubleshooting Hiding Apple with iOS18

Location Restrictions being the Culprit...

  1. Go Here: Lock or Hide an App on iPhone - Apple Support
  2. Scroll to: Hide an app
  3. As it Reads: Note: Apps that come installed with iOS 18 or later can’t be hidden—only apps you download separately from the App Store can be hidden. Apps that are set by the user as default web browser or app marketplace (available only in the EU) can’t be hidden either.
