What is how to delete an app on iphone?

Here's how to delete an app on your iPhone:

There are a few ways to delete apps from your iPhone:

  • From the Home Screen: This is the most common method.

    1. Touch and hold the app icon you want to delete.
    2. After a moment, a menu will appear. You'll see options like "Edit Home Screen," "Share App," and (most importantly) "Remove App". Alternatively, the apps may begin to jiggle and show a small "x" in the upper left corner.
    3. Tap "Remove App". If the apps are jiggling, tap the "x" on the app icon.
    4. A prompt will ask if you want to "Delete App" or "Remove from Home Screen". "Delete App" will completely uninstall the app and its data from your iPhone. If you only tap "Remove from Home Screen" the app will remain in your <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/App%20Library">App Library</a>.
    5. Confirm by tapping "Delete App".
  • From the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/App%20Library">App Library</a>: This method is useful if the app isn't on your Home Screen.

    1. Swipe left on your Home Screen until you reach the App Library.
    2. Locate the app you want to delete (either by searching or browsing the categories).
    3. Touch and hold the app icon.
    4. Select "Delete App" from the menu that appears.
    5. Confirm by tapping "Delete".
  • From Settings:

    1. Open the Settings app.
    2. Tap "General".
    3. Tap "iPhone Storage".
    4. Wait for the list of apps and their storage usage to load.
    5. Tap the app you want to delete.
    6. Tap "Delete App".
    7. Confirm by tapping "Delete App" again.

Important Considerations:

  • Deleting an app also deletes all the data associated with it on your phone (unless the data is stored in the cloud, like game progress linked to an account).
  • Some pre-installed Apple apps cannot be deleted, but they can be <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Remove%20from%20Home%20Screen">removed from the Home Screen</a>. These apps will stay in the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/App%20Library">App Library</a> or can be re-added to the Home Screen from the App Store.
  • If you change your mind, you can re-download deleted apps from the App Store (assuming they're still available). You may not be able to recover the associated data.
