iOS 18 will be released for the public soon after the launch of iPhone 16 series next month. As unveiled by Apple at WWDC 2024, iOS 18 comes with the ability to hide apps. However, you don't have to wait until the update is released to hide apps on your iPhone. You can remove apps from your home screen and keep them in the App Library if you want to use them later.
Apple released the App Library along with iOS 14 which arranges apps on the iPhone in several classifications such as sports and social without displaying them on the home screen. However, the users cannot arrange their apps by themselves as this is an automated feature.

The good news is that there are ways through which the users can still hide the apps of their choice without relying on the automated app arrangement feature or waiting for the upcoming iOS 18 update.
To hide an individual app, the users have to tap and long-press the app. Then, they can click on the remove app option and select the remove from the home screen option from the menu. The users will be able to access the removed app from the app library.
