Hiding Apps

Ive heard of The Vault for hiding photos but how about hiding apps? Like I don't want to keep uninstalling and installing kik all the time.

It's for the iPhone 5s.

Any recommendations thanks

Can't you just create a folder and hide it on page 2, 3 or 4?

Could you create a nested folder? A bit like a russian doll, where you'd have the app a few layers in. I dont have the iphone, but it's an option in other phones. Mine has apps that will hide other apps, so there maybe one - Im guessing it's very likely - for iphone.

Why do you need to? I'm not being arsey, I don't understand, (probably because I don't have to hide anything on my 'phone).

Can't you just put a screen lock on the 'phone?

Can you not rename the app to something boring?

iPhones can have a pin set to open the phone, so maybe set that up?

I never hide anything on my phone, but then there's nothing to hide anyway

I want stuff away from prying eyes, adults and my child. Pin entry makes it too obvious that I have something to hide.

Always wondered this too. Just to add are there any phones that can do this?

I think windows phone lets you have user profiles, but having two when its your phone raises more questions than a PIN

Setting a pin is normal and recommended. Just say you've set one after a friend had mates prank them and mess with phone settings. Also helps avoid accidental calls on touch screen

A pin protects your phone if lost or stolen

Not really. Tell anyone who queries it that it's in case your 'phone gets lost or stolen.

I have a screen lock on my 'phone and I have no need to hide anything.

Saves the risk of someone running up a huge bill or going through your pics/texts.

Can't see the problem with a pin myself.
