How to delete an app

Keep in mind that some built-in Apple apps can't be deleted from your device, so you might not see the option to delete an app. Here’s a list of built-in Apple apps you can delete from your device. If you can't delete an app that's not made by Apple, disable parental controls, then try deleting the app again.

If you touch and hold an app from the Home Screen and the apps start to jiggle: 

1. Tap the Remove icon  in the upper-left corner of the app.

3. Tap Delete App, then tap Delete to confirm.

4. Tap Done.
