It seems like you may have accidentally installed an app on your iPhone that you want to remove now. Here’s how to uninstall apps:


1. Locate the app on your home screen.

2. Press and hold the app icon. A quick actions menu will appear.

3. Select “Remove App” from the menu.

4. You’ll see a prompt asking to confirm the deletion of the app. Tap “Delete App”.


This will remove the app and all its data from your iPhone. If you change your mind later, you can reinstall it from the App Store.


Please note, if you don’t remember which app you installed, you might want to check your App Store history. Open the App Store app, tap on your profile icon on the top right, and then tap on “Purchased”. Here you can see all the apps you have ever downloaded or purchased.
