# Control the Splash Screen

Splash screen is displayed while waiting for the `index.html` page to load. You can manually hide the splash screen by using JavaScript code `navigator.splashscreen.hide()` or by setting in Monaca Cloud IDE.

Here are how to hide the splash screen manually in Monaca Cloud IDE:

## Settings for Android

1. From Monaca Cloud IDE menu, go to `Configure → App Settings for Android`.
2. Scroll to `Splash Files`. In order to hide (disable) the splash screen, you can set the display time to `0`.
3. Then, save your settings.

## Settings for iOS

2. Scroll to `Splash Screen`. In order to hide the splash screen, you have two options here such as `Hide Automatically` and `Hide by JavaScript`. If you choose `Hide by JavaScript`, you will need to use `navigator.splashscreen.hide()` function in your JavaScript file.
3. Then, save your settings.
