How to delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


  • You can delete an app from your Home Screen by tap/hold on the app icon, when the menu pops up, select Remove App, then in the subsequent menu select Delete App
  • You can delete an app from the App Library by locating the app and tap/hold, select Delete App.
  • You can delete an app by navigating to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > [app name] scroll all the way down to the bottom and select Delete App.


If you are unable to delete apps with any of these methods, check:

make sure that's set to 'Allow'
