Special screen of apps won't appear as normal thanks to this trick

It's one of the best iPhone hacks available: a hidden app screen feature.

It means you can keep some home screens out of view.

Perhaps this could be your work apps that you don't want to see at certain times.

While it may be useful for some, don't necessarily think it's a way to hide things.

All the apps you display on it will still be findable - it's merely the way you arrange it on said screen(s) that is hidden from view.

And it's not secured by a passcode or Face ID.

If you want to give it a go, just follow these instructions.

Setting up a hidden home screen on iPhone

Tap and hold anywhere on your home screen until the app icons start to shake.

Now tap the dotted slider icon towards the bottom - it's just above the bottom app tray, in the middle.

Now you can untick any screens you want to hide.

To see them again, simply repeat the process and tick them.

One more trick...

Your iPhone's Lock button is more powerful than you realised.

When you click it once, it locks your handset. That's commonly known.

If you click it twice, it launches straight into Apple Pay – so you can make a contactless payment.

If you hold it down, you'll find that Siri is activated.

This lets you perform a voice command as if you'd said "Hey Siri" aloud.

But there's an extra function: restarting your iPhone.

You simply need to press and hold the side button with either one of the volume buttons.

If you do it right, your iPhone will turn off and on again.
