How to remove / make transparent dock panel on iPhone?
This gray bar has been around since the very first iPhone. It is used most often for quick access to programs.
Of course, you can change the standard applications to whatever you need, or you can leave it empty, but it will be very ugly. The main functions of this strip are only two:
- quick access to a limited number of programs;
- a symbol of recognition of iOS devices.
This gray strip is called "Dock panel"... If someone has used computers or laptops from Apple, then there you can find the same one, only in a slightly different form.
On the Internet, most often you can stumble upon information where it is removed using a jailbreak, or they simply put a gray background and it merges with the color of this strip.

This means that it is simply impossible to make the Dock transparent or simply remove it. This is sad news, but you should have known it.
