App Library hidden apps folder display differences

Wondering why by phone shows hidden apps folder on App Library page, but my husband’s phone doesn’t. My husband’s iPhone does however show it in his list of apps, but if you try to click on it to see what apps are hidden it doesn’t do anything.

The only place you’ll see the Hidden Apps folder is in the App Library. I don’t know how it can be visible in any Apps list because it’s not an app; it’s a folder. If it doesn’t do anything when you click on it that would indicate that it’s empty; there are no hidden apps.
