Is it possible to hide certain highlights in the mobile (iOS/iPadOS) app?

I know how to hide certain highlighting notebooks on the mac app, but I have not been able to find a similar option in the iPad app. Is this possible?

    No - there is only a top-level toggle allowing us to turn notes and highlights On or Off - but we can’t control it at the notebook level.

    Is the only way to address this to delete my highlight of 

    Hosea 1:10 and not include the verse number in the highlight?

    That is the only solution at the moment but I’d wait until the next release of the app!

    The release notes for the current beta have:

    • Highlights anchored to verse references will no longer highlight the passage entry in commentaries.

    So I think it should automatically be resolved once that ships as a stable release.

    Thanks, Graham, that's what I assumed.

    A follow-up question:

    There is clearly some sort of tagging that takes place across resources that means that highlighting a verse in the ESV makes many of my resources look like this:

    I have highlighted Hosea 1:10 in the ESV, which is what is causing this excessive highlighting in this resource. Is the only way to address this to delete my highlight of Hosea 1:10 and not include the verse number in the highlight?
