Some people prefer a cleaner look to their iPhones, so they do anything they can to reduce clutter. This sometimes includes hiding unwanted Home Screen pages, but what do you do if you want to get back a hidden Home Screen page? Fortunately, restoring a hidden Home Screen is a very simple fix. So simple that you can undo it and redo it on a whim, whenever you feel the need to tidy up your iPhone! Here's how to get back or unhide a Home Screen that's been hidden.

How to Get Back a Hidden Home Screen Page

These steps are nearly the same as those used to hide a Home Screen page, so keep them in mind if this is something you think you'll enjoy knowing how to do in future!

Here's how to get back a hidden Home Screen page:

Press and hold on a blank space on your Home Screen.
Once the apps start wiggling, tap on the Home Screen dots near the bottom of the screen.
You'll see an array of your Home Screen pages. Locate the hidden page, which you'll notice will not have a check mark in the bubble below it. A hidden page will also be blurred slightly.
Tap the bubble below the Home Screen page you want to restore or unhide.
Tap Done in the upper-right corner.

Now you can go back and forth between hiding and unhiding Home Screen pages any time you want! Sometimes, doing this can result in hidden apps. Read this for tips on how to find hidden and missing apps on your iPhone. You can also learn how to turn off Raise to Wake on your iPhone.
