Pavel Jelic If you use Apple devices to the maximum, then you are definitely no stranger to Spotlight. It is most commonly used on the Mac, but it can also be found on the iPhone or iPad. In a way, it is a kind of integrated search engine, but it can do much more. In addition to searching for information, it can help you launch the application, convert currencies and units, calculate examples, display some of the photos you are looking for, etc. Spotlight's possibilities are truly practically endless, and most users could not imagine working without it.

How to Hide Search Button on Home Screen on iPhone
Until now, on the iPhone, we could open Spotlight by swiping down from the top of the home screen, which would immediately put you in a text field and start writing a request, or by going to the left side of the widgets page. However, iOS 16 also includes a new Search button on the home page, which you'll find at the bottom of the screen. It is also now possible to launch Spotlight through it, so there are more than enough options to open. However, this may not suit some users, but luckily we can hide the Search button. Just proceed as follows:
- First, you need to go to the native app on your iPhone Settings.
- Once you do, get off below, where find and click the section Flat.
- Then pay attention to the category here Search, which is the last one.
- Finally, use the switch to disable the option Display on desktop.

So if the button gets in the way, or if you don't want to use it, or if you've already messed with it several times, you can easily solve this problem. However, some users have complained that the button didn't disappear immediately after disabling it, and they either had to wait or restart their iPhone, so keep that in mind.
