Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
i removed a folder and all my apps disappeared so i went to re-download them but it just says open . i google sand it said it was in my app library ! i looked up how to move to home screen from library and even how to delete apps from the app library . NOTHING AT ALL was working ! How do i get them back on to my home screen ?
iPhone 7, iOS 14
When I try to remove an app I only get a
(-) sign and not an (x), so it puts it in the app library. My choices are only to put it in the app library or put it back on the home screen.
I have quite a few apps that I want to take completely off my phone, but it won’t let me.
Please help.
I deleted an app that is not working for me from the HOME SCREEN.
I wanted to test it, so I only deleted it from the home screen but left it on the library. Now, It is still not working and I can't find a way to delete it from Library.
Any other suggestions?
I agree that it is stupid default value; I’ve asked about it through channels and I haven’t gotten an answer as to why. Possibly to prevent people from accidentally deleting apps (and their data, which cannot be recovered).
If you are using Screen Time, go to Settings/Screen Time/Content & Privacy Restrictions/iTunes & App Store Purchases - Change Deleting Apps to Allow.
Then go back and try deleting the app again.
Same! I can't delete unwanted apps from app library it will only give me share option, what is the deal???
Thank you. That worked beautifully. I had to allow in settings.
It is possible to delete the Notes app; to restore it just add it back from the App Store→Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 12, iOS 13, or iPadOS device or Apple Watch - Apple Support
Did you look at the Apple Recommended solution of the thread you posted in?
THANK YOU!!! I have been trying to figure this out every time my apple watch needs an update. This was so helpful.
That worked
Thank You
Thank you for this solution. Silly that it defaults to Not Allow.
That worked for me, to. Thank you
Finally found something that worked. Thank you, Lawrence Finch! I knew there had to be a way.
Thanks it worked for me!!!
