Option to Hide Frame Labels

The UI can get over crowded with annoying frame/component names hanging off their top edges. I have not found a way to disable/hide these. Please tell me there is a way! 🙂

Replying to keep this alive.
One of the key use of Frame is Auto Layout.
Auto Layout is very useful… and therefore is used a lot. The frame title becomes an appendage that often times just get in the way.

Current workarounds and their cons:
Grouping
Lacking Auto Layout, has different scaling and aligning behaviours.
Make into component
Not suitable for more ad-hoc, few-use patterns - which can happen a lot.
Nest into another Frame
Might be the closest solution… but nesting creates scaling and movement behaviour that are not always welcomed – especially with the new Section as the alternative, which is more flexible for organization (yet section shows the frame title). Nesting also makes click to select harder, and creates bloat in the left-side list of layers.
Plug In
Not as reliable and easy to use vs native product feature. May have to pay, undesirable especially for such simple Display Option that seems naturally should be part of the product.

Commenting to keep this alive. Please, this is a low hanging fruit. I don’t know how many needlessly grouped frames I have just so I don’t have to see the label names; now I spend all my time double clicking into autolayouts 🥸

+1 here!!! My brain is overworked enough without the extra noise! Assumed this would be an easy toggle off…

Came here from a quick google about this question.
+1 here too (although not holding my breath since this thread is from May 2021!) 😊

Was really hoping we’d get an update for this with the new UI.

+1 here too. Simple request. Why adding all the grouping plugin extra work and clutter?

You can use this plugin for hiding sections and frames names.
The names stay hidden even if you close the plugin.

3 Years, 4+ pages of replies and nearly 70K views on this thread and yet we don’t have this very basic option?

Absolutely Ridiculous.

I, like most others, don’t want to run extra plug-ins or rename all these annoying frames with blank spaces (which makes navigating the page structure impossible from the layers panel -- which isn’t really a solution). I want a real setting I can turn on that hides frame names.

You can type a SPACE in the frame name and voila! No label
