Originator:pburleson

Status:Open Resolved:
Product:iPhone/iPod Touch Product Version:6.0.1 (10A523)
Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:N/A
 
Summary:

The ability to hide unused built-in apps should be added to Settings.app. Much like how the Nike+ app can be hidden, the rest of the built in apps should also have this option.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Try to hide an unused app, such as Compass.app

Expected Results:

1. Setting in Settings.app to hide Compass.app (as merely an example)

Actual Results:

1. No setting to hide Compass.app

Notes: 

The exceptions to this I could see would be Mail, Safari, Contacts and Calendar. But I think all the other apps should be able to be hidden by the user. They just add clutter.
