It’s always nice when you can hide things you don’t want to look at, especially when it comes to things that ordinarily populate on your iPhone’s limited screen real estate.
Fortunately, a new add-on called HideManager by iOS developer YangJii for the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits for devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.1.2 and 16.0-16.6 beta 1 respectively makes doing this a breeze.
Once you install HideManager, you can enable it from the Misaka package manager and then use a 3D Touch orHaptic Touch gesture on the add-on to access its options, which are shown above.
Among the things you can with HideManager are:
- Configure SpringBoard options:
