Hi All,
I am trying to remove the phone icon and nothing is working. This device does not have a SIM card, it uses Wifi only. I have tried adding it to a Restrictions profile where I am removing all other system apps and it's the only icon that is not being hidden.
I am also applying a Home Screen layout and this icon is not one of the icons I wish to display in that policy. What am I missing?
Appreciate the help!
Hello,
Apple does not allow hiding the Phone or Settings apps on iPhone. You're not missing anything as far as that goes. You can move the app icons to another screen using a Home Screen layout but they will always show on iPhones.

Thank you for confirming and adding that link! I was starting to think that but could not find confirmation.
Can Jamf "Hide" the phone icon? I see where we can hide it manually, but would like to have the MDM do this on 1000 iphones.
Unfortunately, not. Your only option is to put it in its own folder.
