Can I lock or hide any app I want on iPhone? You can lock most apps, including Messages and third-party apps from the App Store.  Also: How to send and receive Apple’s iMessages in WindowsHowever, Apple doesn’t allow you to lock or hide certain core system apps like Settings and Find My. It’s worth pressing and holding on an app for a moment to see what quick action options appear. Do hidden apps still send notifications on iPhone? No. Once hidden, the app won’t send notifications until you open it again. That also means notifications from a hidden app won’t appear in previews or in the Notification Center on your lock screen. How do I find my hidden apps on iPhone? Hidden apps live in a special folder in your App Library. Swipe from right to open the App Library, scroll all the way to the bottom, tap the folder labeled Hidden, and authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. You’ll then see the hidden apps inside. How do I unhide or unlock an app? If you change your mind, it’s easy to bring an app back to the surface.  Go to the App Library, find the app (including if it’s in the Hidden folder), touch and hold the app, and tap Don’t Require Face ID (or Touch ID or Passcode). Authenticate one last time, and the app will be unhidden and visible in your App Library again.  Also: How to clear your iPhone cache (and why you should do it before the iOS 26 update)If you want it back on your home screen, just touch and hold it, then tap Add to Home Screen.
