How to Unhide Apps on iPhone and Android

Are you worried your child has downloaded an inappropriate app? We’re here to help! In this video, we’ll show you how to unhide apps on iPhone and how to unhide apps on Android. Hidden apps can be dangerous because they may enable your child to contact strangers, view porn, and more.

On iOS devices, we’ll show you how to see whether they’re hiding it from their home screen.

For Android users, the process is similar. You can check the phone’s app drawer to see if hidden apps were moved off the home screen. You can also look in settings to find a complete list of every app on the phone.

Want to know how to prevent your kid from downloading any apps without permission in the future?

iOS users with the Apple Family Sharing Plan can enable the Ask to Buy feature for your kid. That way when a teen goes to purchase or download an app, you can decide whether it’s okay.

Android users can do the same thing with parental controls in Google Family Link. This lets you require a password for app downloads.

For both iOS and Android devices, you can disable app downloads altogether.

You can also use Bark. We’ll send you alerts if your child downloads any risky apps. Plus, from your parent app, you can also see all the apps your kid has downloaded.

Then, with our screen time and blocking tools, you can decide when — or if — your child can use certain apps. It’s that easy!
