A new trick shows a quick way of getting rid of the stock apps that
might be cluttering up your iPhone screen — at least for a while.
The iPhone comes with a range of apps that are stuck on the phone, and can't be deleted like others. While some are key to the phone — like the Phone app itself — others like Stocks are less well-regarded.
But the new trick shows how you can hide those unused stock apps with just a quick trick using some folders.
You begin by putting the app into a folder. It doesn't matter which. (It's likely that it'll already be hidden in one — if it is, you can just leave it there.)
Now head into the folder, and press on hold on the app so that you can enter "jiggle mode" and move it around.
Once you can pick it up, do so and drag it into the next page in the folder, which will probably be empty. Drop it into there.
Now pick up the app again and drag it over once more (which should mean that you've added two extra dots at the bottom). When it's in there, get hold of the app, drag it all the way to the right and keep hold of it — then tap the home button at the same time.
