A man has revealed a little-known hack that hides apps on an iPhone by changing their name and symbols to easily disguise them, but many people say it makes it “easy to cheat.”
In the clip, which has more than two million views, the influencer shows how to change the application icons of the “shortcuts” application. Once opened, iPhone users can click the plus button and add actions. Users can then search for the “Open application” option and click on a button with squares of various colors.
By showing viewers how to complete the hack, Kaan revealed how to change the face of his Tinder app.
In the clip, which has more than two million views, the influencer opens the Apple Shortcuts app, which is automatically downloaded to new iPhones and is free from the app store for all users.
Once opened, iPhone users can click the plus button and add actions, as shown.
Users can then search for the “Open app” option and click a button with multicolored squares.
It then adds the app to the home screen and changes the name to “weather” and the image in the logo that is commonly used for Apple’s weather app.
Then go back to the home screen and open what looks like the weather app.
But it’s not the weather app, but Tinder.
The clip has garnered thousands of comments, and many say it made them suspect their partners.
“Why do you teach people to be gloomier,” one wrote.
“Okay, now I’m about to click on all of my man’s apps,” joked another.
“It’s actually like making an aesthetic home screen on iOS,” a third commented.

“This is a game changer,” added a fourth.
Some went so far as to call Kaan a “genius” and a true legend.
Others pointed out that after doing the trick, they could still see the original app and it will also show if suspicious partners search the app library.
Although some even suggested that you can add a condition to add a password when opening the app for those trying to be more cunning.
