How to hide recent apps in macos mojave

It's been a few days since macOS Mojave, Apple's new operating system for the Mac family of laptops and desktops, has been officially available for all users. And since then, there are many improvements and new functions that we have been testing. One of them is the ability to show recent applications in the dock, a really useful function when you frequently work with the same apps, but that may not be liked by all users. So today we will see how to hide the latest used apps from the dock.

Hide recent apps from dock in macOS Mojave

The new feature that shows recent applications in the macOS Mojave dock is activated by default when you install the new system. Although, in general, it can be useful, many users will not like it since, usually, we already have the apps we use most anchored in the dock, which is what it is for.

Luckily, it is a feature that you can deactivate quickly and very easily. To do this, simply follow the instructions below:

1. First, open the System Preferences application. You can do it from the dock itself, from the launchpad, through the Finder and the applications folder, or by pressing the  symbol in the menu bar and selecting the corresponding option.Now click on the Dock section within the System Preferences panel the box next to Show recent apps in the dock .

As simple as that. Your recent apps will no longer show up on the far right of the dock from now on, and you'll have more room to pin more apps if you need to.
