The correct order of steps to make your iPhone forget the login information for apps like Messenger and Paramount:
- Log In: This step might seem unnecessary, but it ensures the app has your credentials to store in the first place.
- Log Out: Sign out of the app completely. This tells the app you don't want to be signed in anymore.
- Uninstall: Delete the app from your iPhone. This removes the app's data, including any stored login information.
- Download from the App Store: Reinstall the app from the App Store. Since it's a fresh installation, it shouldn't have any pre-saved login info.
Even after signing out, uninstalling, and reinstalling apps, there are a couple of places where your iPhone might be storing login information. Here are some things you can try on your iPhone 12 mini with iOS 14.7.1:
- App-Specific Settings: Some apps have built-in options to clear login credentials. Check the settings menu within each app (Messenger, Paramount) for options like "Log Out" or "Clear Login Info."
- Apple ID Passwords: Apple remembers login information for apps that use your Apple ID to sign in. Go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Websites & App Passwords. Find the login information for Messenger, Paramount, or other relevant apps, and tap "Edit" then "Delete" to remove them.
- Reset Network Settings: This option resets all your network settings, including Wi-Fi passwords and VPN configurations. It might also remove some login credentials stored for apps. Be aware that you'll need to re-enter your Wi-Fi passwords and other network settings after this. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Important Note: Resetting Network Settings is a bit more drastic than the other options. Make sure you're comfortable re-entering your network information before proceeding.
By following these steps, you should be able to remove most stored login credentials for Messenger, Paramount, and other apps on your iPhone. If you're still having trouble, you can try contacting the app developers directly for further assistance.
