Hide tab bar in IOS swift app

December 24, 2022 by Tarik

You can simply use this in your ViewDidLoad() method.

self.tabBarController?.tabBar.hidden = true

For Swift 3.0, 4.0, 5.0:

self.tabBarController?.tabBar.isHidden = true

Or you can change z position of tab bar this way:

self.tabBarController?.tabBar.layer.zPosition = -1

and if you want to show it again then:

self.tabBarController?.tabBar.layer.zPosition = 0
