How do I get rid of the hidden app folder in the App Library?

I haven't given my password to anyone - the issue is the the threat of being mugged and forced to open up the phone - not so common (yet) but it is a thing

Hello~ Oh boy…

Same here. I don’t want my bf thinking I have smthing to hide. This could be a safety issue for women n dv relationships. We all need to band together and have apple remove this for safety reasons

I want to get rid of the hidden app. I don’t know what is in it myself and I fear AI is putting things in there.

EXACTLY!!! I think you explained the why people want it removed better than anyone here.

Bottom line, all you can do is send feedback. Once that is done, there is nothing left to do.

Product Feedback - Apple

• If you have a partner viewing the contents of your phone, they most likely have the Passcode to view the folder anyway. The passcode is what prevents any access to your phone and is the same one for the Hidden Folder.
• For the argument of monitoring children's activities, that is done with the Screen Time app. You have complete control over any app a child downloads. The app activity is still visible in Screen Time even if hidden.
• To view your child's conversations with the apps they use, such as Facebook, SnapChat, Instagram, or WhatsApp to name a few, you must have the child's Passcode anyway. And yes, that should be done by a parent concerned about their communications and that same Passcode opens the Hidden Folder.

I want hidden files off my phone

You don't need to hide any files if you don't want to. The folder will remain, just as the Hidden Photos folder has been in the Photos app for many years now. You cannot delete that one either and it does not seem to be a problem.
