Since you can access the Backdrops app from settings, it would be nice if you could hide the app on the home screen.

Hey there, @othy07.

Thanks for inquiring!

We see that you want to hide the Backdrops app on your Home screen and we're here to help!

Are you referring to the shortcuts for Backdrops? If so, there is an option to hide this on your home screen. Here's how:

1. Press Home on your Roku remote
2. Find the Backdrops shortcut; it can be found at the bottom of the app lists, or you can press the "Up" button on your remote to reach it quickly.
3. Highlight the Backdrop shortcut icon and press the Star * button on your remote. 
4. Select Hide.

Let us know if you still need help!

I'd like to be able hide the actual app on thehome screen. I don't know about anybody else, but I'm kinda of a set it and forget person, and as I said it's available to open in settings.

Thanks for keeping us posted, @othy07!

Right now, all Roku devices with backdrops don't have this option available yet. No worries; we’ll make sure to pass this suggestion along to the team! Thanks for sharing this! We really appreciate it.

If you need more help, please let us know!
