Learn how to delete an app from iPhone to free up space, improve performance, and reduce clutter. Follow our step-by-step guide and enjoy a more organized device.
Sooner or later, the memory of any iPhone gets full. And then there are two options: delete data or programs. We tell you how to get rid of unnecessary software on Apple smartphones.
Removing apps from the home screen
The easiest and fastest way is to remove the application directly from the device’s home screen. To do this:
- Find the application you want to delete on your smartphone screen;
- Let’s say it’s “Clock”;
- Press your finger on it;
- A menu will appear with the item “Delete application”, click on it;
- Confirm the deletion again by clicking on “Delete application”.
That’s it, the app is deleted from the iPhone storage. All its data (cache) is also deleted along with it. By the way, you can also delete the app not from the iPhone, but from the main screen.
If you need to download a remote application, you will need to go to the App Store, find it there and download it.
Removing applications from the desktop
You can quickly remove multiple apps from your iPhone right from your desktop. To do this:
- Press and hold your finger on the home screen until the screen shakes;
- A minus sign will appear next to all elements;
- Click on each application one by one and then “Delete application”.
Removing apps via Settings
This is a slightly less simple and slightly more time-consuming method. Everything is done in the iPhone settings. Here’s what you need to do:
- Open iPhone Settings;
- Next, select the “Main” subsection;
- Then go to “iPhone Storage”;
- Below you will see all the applications installed on your smartphone and their exact weight in GB or MB;
- Click on the application you want to delete (let’s say it’s Pyaterochka);
- Click on “Delete application” to get rid of it completely with all data.
You can also click on “Download application”. Then it will be deleted, but the data will be saved and you can re-download it in the same section.
Removing apps via the Library
If the application you want to remove is not on one of the desktop screens, you need to go to the software library. To do this:
- Swipe left to right on your iPhone screens to the very end;
- This will take you to the “Application Library”;
- Now find the icon of the software you want to remove and hold your finger on it;
- Now “Delete application”.
If the app you want to remove is not visible, simply type its name in the search bar.
