Unable to move/delete apps - iPhone7

1. From the Home screen, select “Settings“.
2. Select “General“.
3. Tap “Storage & iCloud Usage” or “Usage” depending on your version of iOS.
4. Under the “Storage” section, select “Manage Storage“.
5. The list of apps installed on your iPhone 7 appear. Select the one you wish to remove.
6. Tap “Delete app“.

I don't think 3D Touch can be turned off. It's activated by firm pressure on the screen. To delete an app lightly touch and hold the icon until it wiggles. It's all regulated by the amount of pressure applied to the screen. It's a new feature thats different and takes some getting use to. If you're using a stylus it might be more difficult to regulate the pressure but just remember to apply light press and hold not the firm pressure we're used to.

Hi

Couple of questions... as some people found your post helpful .

How hard is sort of hard ? Would you say it's the pressure you apply to a set jelly, without breaking the surface. Or harder?

An LAY your finger on an icon, it doesn't seem to work? Maybe Im actually not good at finger laying? As all I seem to get is an open app.

Also what the **** is 3D Touch?

Wouldn't it be great if mapple and mobbs had geniuses available to help us poor people who just submit.. submit...submit...

I am not impressed with 3D Touch. I really haven't found a use for it. To activate 3D Touch you press and hold firmly, much like the old technique to delete apps. To open you tap. To delete an app you have to lightly press and hold until they wiggle ...do not lift your finger.......you then have a tap. it takes some getting use to but with a little practice you can master this new technique. Let me know how it works out for you.

Did some research...3D Touch is activated by default and can be turned off. Good news for some. Go to settings, general, accessibility. Scroll down to 3D touch and turn it off. That should take care of difficulties for those of us who find this feature worthless.

Glad to help. Had the same problem and took a while to figure it out. 3D Touch is enabled by default. If you don't want it, it can be turned off. Go to settings, accessibility, scroll down to 3Dtouch and turn it off. Things are then back to normal. So far I haven't found a use for the 3D Touch feature.

Who would have thought that when Jobs passed, creative evolution of product and design would have passed with him. What is Jony Ives' role at Apple? Sorry...Sir Jony Ives...bestowed upon him for creativity and design.

Don't know why an X doesn't appear when the app wobbles. Try the steps Mr Viri offered.....You may have restrictions enabled.....settings, general, restrictions. Tap on restrictions and scroll down to deleting apps. It might be turned off. If so tap to turn it on. Let us know if this works.

This works just lightly place thumb over icon a x will display over all icons choose x over what you don't want and it's gone. I'm like Joe Walsh a analog man in a digital world I need a 10 year old smartass to tell me what to do that is a good song on his latest album a analog man in a digital world he also has a song called 1 day at a time and yes it is about the struggle with drugs and alcohol he has went through there is also a song I'm just lucky that way the whole album is great I must sound like what Joe is singing about well yes I am but the sober mind was able to pickup on the light touch on I phone 7 I will go for now ps the government is talking about having all USA electric, water infrastructure even air traffic going back to analog to lessen a cyber attact? Any views have a good Saturday Westdot

Not being able to delete or move as easily as on past iPhones is a complete waste of time and backward step. Same as the stupid 3D and awful vibration on home button and others. At least I've found a way to turn that crap completely off. So disheartening this iPhone 7 Plus, it's going back for full refund under Sale of Goods act, Apples loss not mine. Have used every iPhone number up to now, but this is definitely the WIRST iPhone ever, and best place for it is in the bin, but need refund to buy something decent.

Lightly touch and hold the icon until it starts to wiggle then move as desired. If you press too hard you get an option to share. The icons won't wiggle. 3D touch dictates the amount of pressure applied to the screen so it's different than on previous models. Previous posts cover this issue as well as how to turn it off if you want.

Go to settings, general. Scroll down to restrictions ... it's probably on...and open. Scroll down to deleting apps and make sure it's turned on. You can then set restrictions to off if you don't want any restrictions.

This has been my problem as well. Cross's occur on all the apps except 3 that are 'waiting'. I can move them. It not delete them as no cross appears. I have turned off 3D Touch and it makes no difference- extremely frustrating

So I was reading this thread because I was having the same problem. Someone here was right on but maybe didn't clarify enough. If you press moderately hard like you used to on the icon, it pops up options. If you barely touch the icon, lay your finger very lightly on the icon, you get the "X" to delete. Works quite well once you figure it out!

Disable 3D Touch. This overrides the ability to delete the app. Go to Settings, General, Accessibility, Scroll to 3D touch and turn it off. Once done, you can depress the APP to move it or delete it by clicking the "x"
