how to remove sina weibo integration

Ever since the upgrade form IOS 5.8 onwards Sina Weibo comes automatically installed if you install the Chinese language for your keyboard. To remove this app. even though you probably did not install it, you need to remove the Chinese Simplified or Chinese Traditional from your keyboard selection. Otherwise leave it if you don't mind it taking up space.

Thank you Bill; worked liked a charm. I was wondering how Weibo got there. This now allows the Add to Home Screen option to appear on the first screen of the "Do Something" pop up menu. Thanks again and have a Happy 2013!

Thank You.

I have Chinese language support installed, but I still don't want Sina Weibo, Tencent Weibo (or even Twitter) automatically integrated into my iPad. It produces a bunch of 'clutter' in my Settings and on some of the pop-up menus. Kinda annoying. Any way to get rid of these things that I don't even have installed?

No, they are part of the OS. You'll just need to learn to ignore them.

Thanks ... that's what I thought, but was hoping there was a way to undo this. (have no idea why Apple would design things that way).

I did, however, discover that on the send/share popup menu where those apps show up (even if not installed), you can remove them by clicking on the "More..." icon and toggling them off.

Perhaps so as not to have to answer questions from a billion Chinese users about how to activate them:-)

I do not have the Chinese language selected for my keyboard but Sina Weibo is still listed as on my computer. There is no point in having a program on my computer taking up space that I will never use. How do I remove it?

If you're asking about a computer, you should probably post in the relevant forum. This is an iPhone forum.

Such integration probably uses very little space.
