What is how to delete apps on iphone?

There are several ways to delete apps on your iPhone:

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

    1. Touch and hold the app icon you want to delete.
    2. After a moment, a menu will appear. Tap "Remove App". If the apps are still "jiggling" after the initial hold, simply tap the "X" (or minus sign) that appears on the app icon.
    3. A prompt will appear asking if you want to "Delete App" or "Remove from Home Screen." Select "Delete App". Deleting the app removes it from your phone completely. Removing from the home screen only removes the icon, but keeps the app installed.
  • From the App Library: If you can't find the app on your Home Screen, it might be in the App Library.

    1. Swipe left past all your Home Screen pages to reach the App Library.
    2. Locate the app you want to delete. You can search for it using the search bar at the top.
    3. Touch and hold the app icon.
    4. Tap "Delete App", then confirm your choice by tapping "Delete".
  • From Settings: This method can be useful if you want to see how much storage space each app is using.

    1. Open the Settings app.
    2. Tap "General".
    3. Tap "iPhone Storage".
    4. Wait for the list of apps to load. This may take a few moments.
    5. Tap on the app you want to delete.
    6. Tap "Delete App".
    7. Confirm your choice by tapping "Delete App" again.
