To hide your apps on iOS 18, you can use the new feature that allows you to lock and hide any app, requiring authentication before access. When an app is locked or hidden, its contents are not accessible without authenticating with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode. This includes all entry points, such as tapping on an action from the share sheet. Additionally, the contents of your app will not appear in other places across the system, like search or notifications, ensuring that others won't inadvertently see sensitive information.
