If your iPad Home Screen is cluttered with too many pages of icons, you can hide entire screens without deleting any apps. I’ll show you how to use page edit dots to hide and restore iPad Home Screen pages in moments.

1. Enter Home Screen Edit Mode

Pressing and holding finger on wallpaper until icons begin to jiggle with minus buttons

Touch and hold your finger on any empty wallpaper space on your Home Screen until the app icons start jiggling.

2. Tap the Page Dots

Tapping the small pill-shaped row of dots directly above the iPad dock

Tap the small row of dots centered near the bottom of your screen, just above the dock.

3. Uncheck Pages to Hide Them

Viewing page overview grid and tapping the circular checkmark under a page to hide it

Tap the round checkmark underneath any page thumbnail you want to hide so the checkmark disappears.

4. Tap Done to Save Your Layout

Checking the checkmark again to restore the hidden page and tapping Done in top corner

Tap **Done** in the top-right corner to exit page overview, then tap **Done** again to finish editing.

Helpful Tips

Hidden apps are never deleted; you can always find and launch them anytime by swiping to your **App Library** on the far right page. For more customization guides, see our guide on Hiding and Unhiding Apps on iPad or browse our Apple iPad hub.
