iOS: Tired of built-in apps like Stocks and Weather taking up space on your home screen when you've got better third-party alternatives you're using instead? The developers behind Rag3Hack figured out a way to hide them so they're not cluttering up your mobile.
Here's how it works:
- Visit rag3hack.no-ip.org on your iDevice.
- Tap Hide Apps without Jailbreak.
- Choose the app you want to hide and tap it.
- You'll be asked to install a new app/certificate. Confirm that you want to do this.
- The installation will fail, but that's supposed to happen. Tap "Done" when you receive the failure message.
- Long press an icon on your home screen to enter "jiggle mode" and go find the app you wanted to hide. You'll now see that the app is blank and has the word "Hide" before its name (e.g. "Hide Stocks"). Tap the "X" in the upper-left corner to remove it.
That's all you have to do, and the app will be gone! The downside to this non-jailbreak method is that the apps will come back after you reboot. That said, the process is very easy and most of us don't reboot our phones often, so it's a small nuisance for a little added organization. It's also a quirk that allows you to easily get your apps back if you need them.
