Hidden Apps App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — Hide Apps, Remove from Home Screen, App Library & 隐藏应用 / 从主屏幕移除 zh-Hans Copy

Who this is for

Western indie iOS and iPadOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — whose product page prominently markets Hidden Apps / Hide Apps / Remove from Home Screen on iPhone and iPad:

• Remove from Home Screen — gallery frames or description bullets showing jiggle-mode "Remove App" flows, long-press delete-from-Home-Screen menus, or apps that disappear from Home Screen pages but stay installed
• App Library–only apps — marketing that buyers launch hidden apps from App Library search or category folders instead of pinned Home Screen icons
• Hide apps from Home Screen — when your en-US listing emphasizes decluttering Home Screen pages while apps remain reachable in App Library
• App organizer and launcher utilities — indie apps whose en-US listing sells hide-app workflows, Home Screen cleanup, or 隐藏应用 vocabulary buyers expect in China
• Ultra Hidden Apps branding — when your en-US listing uses Ultra Hidden Apps or premium-tier hide-from-Home-Screen branding as the hero story
• Privacy-minded Home Screen organization — when screenshots show apps removed from visible Home Screen grids without uninstalling or passcode-locking individual apps

You finished the en-US listing. The zh-Hans row exists or is in progress, but China buyers still see English searchable fields and English Hidden Apps screenshot captions. You need paste-ready Connect storefront text — not a contractor to implement SpringBoard hide toggles or launcher APIs in your binary.

If your hero story is Photos Hidden album — hide photos from the library, 隐藏相册 — see Hidden album listing (zh-Hans). If your lead is Require Face ID app lock — 锁定应用 — see Locked Apps listing (zh-Hans). If your lead is App Library category folders and Recently Added without Hide Apps as the hero — see App Library listing (zh-Hans). If the entire China page is still English on every field, start with China App Store still shows English or the AppLocale product page.

What Hidden Apps marketing is — and what your listing may claim

Western indie listings often show one or more of these surfaces on the US product page. AppLocale covers paste-ready zh-Hans copy for whichever your screenshots and description already claim:

• Remove from Home Screen (从主屏幕移除) — jiggle-mode Remove App, long-press context menus, or in-app toggles that take app icons off Home Screen pages
• Hide Apps / Hidden Apps (隐藏应用) — feature names on organizer utility frames where buyers hide specific apps from visible Home Screen grids
• App Library only (仅在应用资料库) — marketing that hidden apps remain installed and searchable in App Library after Home Screen removal
• Hide from Home Screen (从主屏幕隐藏) — when copy emphasizes apps no longer appear on Home Screen but are not uninstalled
• App Library Search after hide (资料库内搜索) — frames showing buyers find hidden apps via App Library search after removal from Home Screen
• Ultra Hidden Apps branding — when your en-US listing uses Ultra Hidden Apps as a premium-tier hide-from-Home-Screen feature name on hero frames

Your gallery may lead with a Remove from Home Screen menu capture on one frame and an App Library search demo on the next. zh-Hans caption lines should name the correct surface per frame — Home Screen app hiding is not a Photos Hidden album, not a Require Face ID app-lock toggle, and not a Guided Access kiosk session.

Hidden Apps is not Hidden Album, Locked Apps, Guided Access, Screen Time, or general App Library copy

Home Screen organization and privacy apps blur several shop guides indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — Hidden Apps and Hide Apps from Home Screen as the lead gallery theme:

• Hidden Apps & Hide Apps (this page) — remove apps from the Home Screen while keeping them in App Library, App Library–only apps, hide apps from Home Screen pages — 隐藏应用, 从主屏幕移除, 隐藏主屏幕应用 vocabulary.
• Hidden album (different) — Photos → Albums → Hidden: hide photos and videos from the main library — 隐藏相册, 隐藏的项目. See Hidden album listing guide — photo library hide-from-library, not app icon removal.
• Locked Apps (different) — lock individual apps on the Home Screen behind Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode — 锁定应用, 需要面容 ID. See Locked Apps listing guide — biometric app lock, not remove-from-Home-Screen organization.
• Guided Access (different) — single-app kiosk lock, session passcode to exit — 引导式访问. See Guided Access listing guide — kiosk mode, not Home Screen hide-apps marketing.
• Screen Time & App Limits (different) — usage caps, Downtime schedules, daily time budgets — App 限额. See App Limits listing guide — usage limits, not hide-from-Home-Screen organization.
• App Library drawer (different when not Hide Apps hero) — auto-categorized folders, Recently Added, App Library Search as the lead story without Remove from Home Screen marketing. See App Library listing guide — categorized drawer, not Hide Apps as the primary gallery theme.
• Offload Unused Apps (different) — Settings storage feature that removes app data while keeping the icon — not the same buyer story as intentional hide-from-Home-Screen organization utilities.

Your screenshots may show Home Screen and App Library on adjacent frames. Listing copy should name the correct surface per frame — a Remove from Home Screen menu is not a Hidden album grid, not a Require Face ID lock toggle, and not an App Limits daily budget slider.

Listing metadata vs hide-app engineering vs screenshot design

Hidden Apps–aware utilities blur three workstreams indie teams merge:

• App Store Connect listing metadata — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshot overlay captions on the zh-Hans row. AppLocale scope.
• Hide-from-Home-Screen behavior in the app — launcher shortcuts, App Library deep links, in-app hide enrollment, SpringBoard-adjacent workflows if your app integrates them. Engineering scope — not AppLocale.
• Screenshot composition — device frames, jiggle-mode Remove App captures, App Library search demos. Design scope — AppLocale delivers caption lines you paste or hand to a designer.

Shipping hide-app toggles or Home Screen cleanup UX in Xcode does not fill Connect zh-Hans rows. This page covers the first bucket for Hidden Apps–centric product pages — Remove from Home Screen and App Library–only marketing, not Photos Hidden album copy and not Require Face ID app-lock copy.

Remove from Home Screen vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs

Teams assume hide-from-Home-Screen capability on device covers storefront language. Home Screen organization toggles and Connect actually separate in-app hide behavior from product-page copy:

• Remove from Home Screen gesture — jiggle mode, long-press menus, or in-app hide toggles that take app icons off Home Screen pages. Controls on-device layout — not App Store language. AppLocale does not perform this.
• App Library retention — apps stay installed and appear in App Library after Home Screen removal. Listing copy should describe that workflow; implementing launcher or deep-link behavior is engineering work, not Connect metadata.
• App Library Search to launch hidden apps — buyers find App Library–only apps via in-drawer search. Product-page copy names that path; building search UI is in-app engineering.
• Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China App Store. Separate from language rows.
• App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshots, and caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of hide-app support in the binary.

Working hide-from-Home-Screen flows and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Hidden Apps, Hide Apps, and 从主屏幕移除 value on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you wire launcher APIs in code.

What China buyers see when zh-Hans Hidden Apps copy is missing

App organizer and privacy utility purchasers browsing the China App Store evaluate Home Screen cleanup value in the first scroll. Common failure modes when only en-US is filled:

• English title and subtitle — app name and tagline still Latin script while competitors show native Chinese Hide Apps or 隐藏应用 positioning
• Untranslated Hide Apps badges on screenshots — overlay lines like "Hidden Apps", "Hide Apps", "Remove from Home Screen", or "App Library only" remain English on zh-Hans gallery frames
• Hide value in English — description opens with US organizer marketing ("Declutter your Home Screen") that China readers skim past or misread
• Keyword field still en-US — buyers search 隐藏应用, 从主屏幕移除, or 隐藏主屏幕应用; an English-only keyword row misses China Search intent
• Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
• Calling Hide Apps Hidden album — machine translation that uses 隐藏相册 for app-icon removal frames when your gallery shows Remove from Home Screen menus, not Photos → Albums → Hidden — confusing buyers who expect 隐藏应用 copy
• Calling Hide Apps Locked Apps — 锁定应用 or 需要面容 ID fit Face ID app-lock frames; Hide Apps hero frames need 从主屏幕移除 or 隐藏应用 vocabulary instead
• Calling Hide Apps App Limits — App 限额 fits daily usage budgets; Home Screen hide-apps frames need 隐藏主屏幕应用 copy instead

Better zh-Hans listing copy helps organizer-aware buyers understand Hidden Apps value before install. It does not replace hide-app code, launcher integration, or Apple's review decisions.

Vocabulary notes — 隐藏应用 vs 隐藏相册 vs 锁定应用

Chinese App Store readers and reviewers distinguish three "hidden" surfaces indie teams often conflate on one product page:

• 隐藏应用 (Hidden Apps / Hide Apps) — app icons removed from Home Screen pages, apps kept in App Library, hide-from-Home-Screen organizer utilities. Use on frames showing Remove from Home Screen, jiggle-mode delete, or App Library–only launch paths.
• 隐藏相册 (Hidden album) — Photos → Albums → Hidden: hide photos and videos from the main library — 隐藏的项目, 隐藏照片. Use only when your gallery shows photo-library hide flows — not app icon removal. See Hidden album guide.
• 锁定应用 (Locked Apps) — Require Face ID, App Lock, biometric unlock before opening an app — 需要面容 ID, 应用锁. Use only when your gallery shows per-app lock toggles — not Remove from Home Screen menus. See Locked Apps guide.

Subtitle and keyword packing should match the hero surface. Terms like 隐藏应用, 从主屏幕移除, and 应用资料库 signal Home Screen organization intent — distinct from 隐藏相册 photo privacy keywords or 锁定应用 app-lock keywords.

EN → zh-Hans listing phrase examples (Hidden Apps scope)

Paste-ready zh-Hans should match how Chinese App Store readers describe Home Screen app hiding — not a word-for-word mirror of English Settings strings. AppLocale adapts these patterns to your English source:

• Hidden Apps → 隐藏应用 — names the hide-from-Home-Screen feature buyers recognize
• Hide Apps → 隐藏应用 or 隐藏 App — action-oriented hide-apps framing on subtitle and keywords
• Remove from Home Screen → 从主屏幕移除 — jiggle-mode and long-press menu marketing
• Hide from Home Screen → 从主屏幕隐藏 or 隐藏主屏幕应用 — when copy emphasizes apps no longer on Home Screen pages
• App Library only → 仅在应用资料库 or 仅保留在 App 资料库 — when frames show apps reachable only via App Library
• Keep in App Library → 保留在应用资料库 — when copy pairs Home Screen removal with App Library retention
• Ultra Hidden Apps → Ultra 隐藏应用 or idiomatic premium-tier phrasing — only when your English listing already uses that branding
• Keyword field — Before: Hidden Apps,Hide Apps,remove from home screen,app library,hide apps → After: 隐藏应用,从主屏幕移除,隐藏主屏幕应用,应用资料库,隐藏App

zh-Hans Hidden Apps captions can differ idiomatically from en-US overlays when the on-screen feature is the same — avoid mirroring comma-heavy English marketing onto tight screenshot art. Do not claim Hidden album photo hide, Locked Apps Face ID lock, or Guided Access kiosk workflows your app does not market.

Why English Hidden Apps copy hurts on the China storefront

App organizer and privacy utilities compete on the China App Store. Buyers evaluate Home Screen cleanup value before they remove apps from Home Screen on a test device:

• Organizer value buried in Latin script — English "Remove from Home Screen" on zh-Hans frames signals the team did not finish China marketing
• Hide labels left untranslated — Hide Apps badges and menu lines show English when caption fields are empty
• Description mismatch — zh-Hans body copy mentions 隐藏应用 while screenshot overlays still say "Hidden Apps"
• Search intent gap — subtitle and keywords may miss 从主屏幕移除, 隐藏主屏幕应用, or 应用资料库 terms buyers actually type
• Conflated with Hidden album — 隐藏相册 photo copy on the same page without separating Home Screen app hiding
• Conflated with Locked Apps — 需要面容 ID app-lock copy when your gallery only shows Remove from Home Screen menus
• Competitor contrast — native zh-Hans organizer apps in the same category show Chinese Hide Apps overlays; English badges look like an import

Better zh-Hans Hidden Apps marketing copy improves product-page clarity for China traffic — it does not replace hide-app code, launcher engineering, or Apple review decisions.

Common mistakes on zh-Hans Hidden Apps listings

• Only localizing title and description — screenshot overlays still say "Hidden Apps" and "Remove from Home Screen" on every hide-apps frame
• Conflating with Hidden album — 隐藏相册 fits Photos hide-from-library frames; Home Screen app removal needs 隐藏应用 vocabulary
• Conflating with Locked Apps — 锁定应用 and 需要面容 ID fit Face ID app-lock frames; Hide Apps frames need 从主屏幕移除 copy
• Conflating with Guided Access — 引导式访问 fits kiosk single-app lock; Remove from Home Screen is a different buyer story
• Conflating with App Limits — App 限额 fits daily usage budgets; Home Screen hide-apps needs 隐藏主屏幕应用 copy
• Conflating with general App Library copy — 应用资料库 category-folder marketing alone does not cover Hide Apps hero frames unless Remove from Home Screen is the lead claim
• Machine-translating "Hidden Apps" literally — awkward strings instead of idiomatic 隐藏应用 or 从主屏幕移除 phrasing Chinese reviewers use
• Assuming hide-app UX = localized storefront — hide toggles in the binary do not auto-fill Connect overlay fields
• English text burned into PNG exports — Connect caption fields are Chinese but the image file still embeds English Remove from Home Screen headlines (a design fix, not a metadata paste)

What good zh-Hans Hidden Apps listing copy looks like

Hidden Apps–centric listings name Home Screen hide value in plain zh-Hans — not a word-for-word mirror of English brochure lines:

• Subtitle — one clause on hide-apps value: "隐藏应用，从主屏幕移除" or "整理主屏幕，App 资料库保留" — not vague "提升手机效率"
• Keywords — mix category terms with hide-apps intent (隐藏应用, 从主屏幕移除, 应用资料库); see Simplified Chinese keywords guide
• Description — short paragraphs for Hidden Apps, Hide Apps, Remove from Home Screen, App Library only, and App Library Search if you market them — mirror screenshot sequence
• Screenshot overlays — short lines naming what the frame shows: 隐藏应用, 从主屏幕移除, 隐藏主屏幕应用, 应用资料库 — not "Hidden Apps" pasted through machine translation
• Honest scope — when your gallery shows Home Screen removal only, caption sheet does not claim Hidden album photo hide or Locked Apps Face ID lock workflows
• Voice match — same 你/您 and punctuation habits as your other zh-Hans fields

Connect checklist before you order Hidden Apps listing copy

1. Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — confirm the zh-Hans row exists; note which fields are still English
2. Audit Hidden Apps screenshot overlays — export English caption text per frame; list lines mentioning Hidden Apps, Hide Apps, Remove from Home Screen, App Library only, hide from Home Screen, or Ultra Hidden Apps
3. Verify subtitle and keywords — do they mention hide-apps in Chinese or still mirror en-US?
4. Check description bullets — Hidden Apps feature paragraphs may be English-only even when title is zh-Hans
5. Separate Hidden Apps vs Hidden album scope — if frames show Photos hide-from-library UI, confirm whether you need photo hide copy or app hide copy (see Hidden album guide)
6. Separate hide-apps vs Face ID lock scope — if frames show Require Face ID toggles, confirm those belong on the Locked Apps guide — not this page
7. Plan re-export if text is burned in — Connect caption fields help only when overlays are editable text layers, not English baked into PNGs
8. Verify China in availability — Pricing and Availability includes China if the storefront should show zh-Hans copy

What AppLocale delivers

For one app on the zh-Hans row, paste-ready Simplified Chinese listing copy for Hidden Apps–marketing fields you specify:

• Title, subtitle, keywords, description — zh-Hans rewrite aligned with your English Hidden Apps / Hide Apps / Remove from Home Screen positioning
• Promotional text — when bundled in your brief
• Screenshot overlay and caption lines — zh-Hans lines for frames showing Hidden Apps, Hide Apps, Remove from Home Screen, App Library only, hide from Home Screen, and Ultra Hidden Apps workflows
• English source alignment — when your en-US Hidden Apps copy also needs tightening, we note both sides in the deliverable
• 24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake

Human rewrite from your current English listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope targets listing metadata and Hidden Apps overlay lines; ask if you also need App Library category-folder copy bundled — see the AppLocale product page.

What AppLocale does not do

• Does not write SpringBoard hide-app code, launcher APIs, or Home Screen layout engineering in your app
• Does not configure Remove from Home Screen or App Library organization on buyer devices
• Does not write Hidden album or Photos hide-from-library listing copy as the hero — that is a contrast surface, not Home Screen app hiding marketing
• Does not write Locked Apps Require Face ID or App Lock listing copy as the hero — see separate shop guide
• Does not write Guided Access kiosk or single-app session lock listing copy — see separate shop guide
• Does not write App Limits, Downtime, or usage-cap listing copy — see separate shop guide
• Does not write general App Library category-folder listing copy as the hero when Hide Apps is your lead story — see App Library guide for drawer-first marketing
• Does not design, compose, or re-export Hidden Apps–themed screenshot PNG/JPEG assets
• Does not localize in-app UI strings, storyboards, or the app binary
• Does not guarantee App Store rankings, conversion lift, or download growth
• Is not QuantRadar, not paid ads management, and not investment or legal advice
• Does not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers

FAQ

Does removing apps from the Home Screen auto-fill my China App Store listing?

No. Remove from Home Screen toggles and App Library–only placement control on-device Home Screen organization — they do not fill App Store Connect localization rows. If zh-Hans fields are empty, the China product page falls back to en-US copy.

Which App Store Connect fields does AppLocale rewrite?

Paste-ready Simplified Chinese for listing fields you specify: app name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines such as Hidden Apps, Hide Apps, Remove from Home Screen, 隐藏应用, 从主屏幕移除, and 隐藏主屏幕应用 — rewritten from your English originals.

Does AppLocale implement hide-app toggles or launcher APIs?

No. AppLocale rewrites App Store Connect listing metadata and screenshot caption text only. SpringBoard hide flows, launcher integration, and in-app hide-app engineering are outside AppLocale scope.

How is this different from Hidden Album, Locked Apps, Guided Access, and App Limits pages?

Hidden Apps listing copy covers removing apps from the Home Screen while keeping them in App Library. Hidden album covers Photos hide-from-library — 隐藏相册. Locked Apps covers Require Face ID app lock — 锁定应用. Guided Access covers single-app kiosk lock. App Limits covers usage caps and Downtime. Each surface has a separate guide.

Why do Hidden Apps captions still show English on China?

Screenshot overlay lines are per localization. English Hide Apps badges on the en-US gallery do not propagate to zh-Hans until you paste Chinese caption text into the Chinese screenshot set.

What do I send after AppLocale payment?

Your live App Store listing URL, current English listing fields, Hidden Apps screenshot overlay lines (Hide Apps, Remove from Home Screen, App Library only, Ultra Hidden Apps), target locale (zh-Hans), and any frame counts. Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.

Will localized Hidden Apps copy improve Search ranking in China?

We do not guarantee keyword position or download growth. Apple indexes title, subtitle, keywords, and description for Search. Complete zh-Hans Hidden Apps marketing helps buyers who already landed on your product page understand hide-from-Home-Screen value.

How much does AppLocale cost?

$79 one-time via Stripe checkout. No subscription. Seller is Fortune Insight, LLC.

What is AppLocale not?

Not hide-app or Home Screen layout engineering, not Hidden album or Locked Apps hero listing copy, not Guided Access kiosk listing copy, not App Limits usage-cap listing copy, not general App Library drawer listing copy as the hero when Hide Apps is the lead, not screenshot design, not Connect submission, not ranking guarantees, not QuantRadar, and not investment or legal advice. We do not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers.
