Unhide Apps on an iPhone: Guide

In today’s digital age, privacy and personalization are key components of the smartphone experience. Apple has equipped the iPhone with powerful features to help users manage how and where apps appear on their device. Whether you’re hiding apps to declutter your Home Screen or to ensure privacy from prying eyes, it’s important to know how to unhide those apps when needed. If you’ve ever hidden…

man i hate apple i feel like 99.9% of the misunderstanding around community labels could be solved by just having the default setting for mature-labelled content be "blur" instead of "hide" but the fucking app store policy on mature UGC is literally:

If your app includes user-generated content from a web-based service, it may display incidental mature “NSFW” content, provided that the content is hidden by default and only displayed when the user turns it on via your website.

and i'm certain they know, they know that the majority of people don't change settings for things. but they're apple and it's their app store, and the number of people using iOS is too high to ignore, and the only browser (currently) available on iOS is quite frankly the worst one still in common usage, so your options are:

shoot yourself in the foot financially by not having an iOS app (after having already shot yourself in the other foot by starting a social network in the first place)

comply with apple's decree and make your entire platform behave the way they want it to

sucks man.

I'M REALLY STARTING TO STRESs

Dear Tumblr Staff,

I appreciate you wanting to protect children and teens from mature and potentially harmful content but I will be 43 years-old in a couple of weeks. I assure you that I do not need or want to be protected from such material, so please stop trying to do so. If you want to protect me from adult content, then you are welcome to come pay my bills, clean my house, do my laundry, run my errands, provide me with enough money so I never have to go to work again, etc. In the meantime, let me be, please.

Sincerely,

Me

if anyone was thinking about making every single parental control attachment for wifi networks explode into dust now would be a great time to do that

discord is bogged down by so much fucking trash theyre trying to sell us that even when the servers arent actually crashing they still run like shit so they can constantly have animated ads and pop ups every time the desktop app updates begging you to pleasepleaseplease spend $10 every month for shit that should be included for free as is and then buy the extra animated frames for icons buy all of them please be a cool gamer for us were all gamers here haha poggers heres the worst app overhaul youve seen outside of tumblr in years

so sick of seeing once decent platforms get absolutely trashed to pieces by shitty intrusive advertising and horrible unintuitive updates done the sake of keeping you on the app longer and a lack of any real competitor. someone should buy out the kik app or something and wipe it clean of pedophiles and then strap it up with decent emojis and server structure if only so the name is recognizable and its already available on app stores

Under general settings -> dashboard preferences at the very bottom

Look I don't wanna bitch but if your Tumblr fic takes longer to scroll past than the Do You Love The Colour Of The Sky post then it would be kinda appreciated if you put the majority of it under a Read More button

Oh _lovely_. Everyone go turn this off:

Enhanced Visual Search in Photos allows you to search for photos using landmarks or points of interest. Your device privately matches places in your photos to a global index Apple maintains on our servers. We apply homomorphic encryption and differential privacy, and use an OHTTP relay that hides [your] IP address. This prevents Apple from learning about the information in your photos. You can turn off Enhanced Visual Search at any time on your iOS or iPadOS device by going to Settings > Apps > Photos. On Mac, open Photos and go to Settings > General.

Well. The Mothership creators have ensured I will never buy their app because they're paywalling a crucial accessibility feature, dark mode. Fuck that. So uncool. I really like the game and I'm intrigued by the app, but you Do Not paywall basic accessibility like this. That's a real bitch move.

An Update on the Tumblr Android App

For those of you who access Tumblr through our Android app, we wanted to share that starting today you may see some differences for search queries and posts that may contain specific types of sensitive content. In order to comply with Google’s Play Store Guidelines, we have adjusted what you’re able to access as it relates to potentially sensitive content while using the Android app. 

To remain available within Google's Play Store, we have added more measures and limit exposure to potentially sensitive content in order to comply with their guidelines and to provide a safer experience to you. To learn more about Google’s Play Store Guidelines, click here. 

How you may experience these changes

When browsing Tumblr through Dashboard, Search, Communities and other surfaces you might experience less content and some searches might not produce any results unless you enable “show mature content” in Tumblr settings. Please refer to our Help Center article to learn more.

Why these changes are being made

We want to make sure Tumblr is available everywhere you would like to access it. In order for us to remain in Google’s Play Store and for our Tumblr Android app to be available, we needed to make changes that would help us be more compliant with Google’s policies around sensitive content. 

We understand that, for some of you, these changes may be very frustrating – we understand that frustration and we apologize for any disruption that these changes may cause. 

Who this impacts

These changes will only impact those who are accessing Tumblr through the Android app. If you are using our iOS app, accessing Tumblr through mobile web or online through tumblr.com, your experience will remain unchanged.

For more information on our guidelines or to understand these changes more fully, please visit:

I just revived my old iPod touch that I haven’t used since ~2013 after believing it to be dead dead for years and oh my god it’s like opening up an old time capsule. There are photos of me and my friends that I haven’t seen in years, taken in an old high school building that doesn’t exist anymore. I have games that are no longer downloadable on the app store. It’s running iOS 5 with the original skeuomorphism app icons. I still have the youtube app. My contacts app is full of maiden names and deadnames. The music app has songs I haven’t heard in almost a decade but still remember all the lyrics to. A daily alarm set for 5:30 AM (god I can’t believe I had to wake up that early in high school) and another set to 11:11 PM to remind me to make a wish. Reminders to finish homework assignments, or to write my application essay for the university I ended up attending, and one marking the release date for the final episode of Cabin Pressure. The last thing I googled was “how to draw people hugging”.

Possibly the strangest thing is that the tumblr app still opens, but it’s stuck in a permanent snapshot of 2013 where it won’t show me any new posts no matter how many times I refresh. My dash is full of old BBC Sherlock posts from long-lost mutuals who have either since deactivated or got unfollowed or changed urls so many times that I don’t even recognize them. Lady Gaga and Game of Thrones are the top trends. My profile shows my previous url and icon, with only 43 followers. I feel like a time traveler
