The capability to make applications less visible on iOS devices allows users to manage the appearance of their home screen and App Library. For instance, an individual might choose to remove seldom-used applications from immediate view without uninstalling them, thereby streamlining the interface.
This functionality enhances user experience by facilitating a more organized and personalized digital environment. Historically, the demand for such features grew as the number of applications on personal devices increased, leading to clutter and difficulty in locating specific tools. This contributes to improved focus and reduced digital distractions.
