- Why is it that after hiding an app, it can still be seen in many places in the settings, such as:
- Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage
- Settings -> private and security -> Pemissions
- Settings -> Search
- Settings -> Siri -> Siri APp Access -> Apps
- Additionally, in the App Store, the hidden app still shows as downloaded.
- Moreover, global searching for the full name of the app in global search also reveals the app and allows it to be opened.
Why isn't the hiding more thorough? Is this a bug or intentionally designed this way?

Answering why questions is tricky. I talk about this in Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips. My general advice is that, if you’d like to see something change, you file a bug / enhancement request that explains what you’d like to see change and your rationale for that.
