How do I delete apps from my iPhone but keep them on my iPad?


I downloaded a few apps to my phone for my son to use while we were out at resturants and such. We just recently got an iPad mini and are planning on him using that instead of my phone. How can I delete those apps from my phone but they still be on the iPad for him to use?

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.1

DELETING APPS


1) Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Delete App


2) Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.


You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.


If there is No 'X' on any apps you have Downloaded... then check in Restrictions...

And...


Sign in with the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase. See which Apple ID you used to download an item.


2) See if the content is available for redownload. Previously purchased items might not be available if they're no longer on the iTunes Store.
