If you feel cluttered with all the apps splattered across your iPhone home screen, it’s time to create a blank slate and regain control of your home screen. In this article, we will explore the steps to create a blank home screen on your iPhone.

Step 1: update your iPhone to the latest iOS version

First things first, to get started, make sure your iPhone is running on the latest version of iOS. Check for updates and download them if necessary to prevent any errors from occurring during the process of creating a blank screen.

Step 2: Move your apps

To create a blank home screen, you will need to move all of your existing apps off to one page. To do this, press and hold any app icon on your home screen until it starts to jiggle. Then, drag and drop the app icons onto the next page until there are no apps left on the first page.

Step 3: Hide your apps

Now that you have moved all of your apps to the next page, it’s time to hide them. After making sure that no app icons are on the first page, swipe left until you see the last page of your home screen.

Next, drag all of your apps, one by one, to the right until they are the only thing left on the last page. Contrarily, you can also hide them by putting them on a document folder, where the folder has no cover.

Step 4: Create a blank widget

Swipe the screen to the right and click on the “+” button at the top left side of the screen to create a widget. Choose the “Widgetsmith” app, select the widget size you want and customize it by choosing the background color, clock style, font, and more. At the end of the customization, set its tap action to “open app”, then choose any app that you’ve hidden in step 3 (the app won’t be activated anyway).

Step 5: Enjoy your new blank home screen

After customizing your widget, return to your home screen, and you will find that the first page is now completely blank and ready for you to customize with your preferred widgets.

In conclusion, creating a blank home screen is a simple and effective way to declutter and simplify your iPhone’s interface. With the right tools and a few simple steps, you will have full control over your home screen and a more organized iPhone experience.
