If there is one common pet peeve among iOS device owners, customisation options might be at the forefront of the list. It's not a secret that Apple is not a huge fan of making modifications at the user's end and that's why the iOS jailbreak community is so alive.
Apple devices don't have the option to hide the dock, empty screens from icons or place app icons anywhere on the home screen. Don't fret, there's a trick to do just those customisation without the need to jailbreak your device.
In this tutorial, IBTimes Singapore will teach you how to move the dock out of sight, how to remove app icons from your screen and how to place them anywhere. This is compatible with the latest versions of iOS 11.
