How do I remove preinstalled apps on iphone 4 with ios 7?
I tried the touch and hold until jiggle, but no x appears for me.
Are there any other ways to remove or hide apps like "stocks" "newsstand" and "game center"
iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2
No. Put them in a folder and call it Unused Apps.
You can't delete the default apps.
If after trying touch and hold and no "X" appears that indicates that the app is part of the operating system and can't be deleted.
How so?
I'm stating that I am using Iphone 4. Running IOS 7 (7.1.2)
I want help to remove some apps that I don't like. Most notably "stocks", "newsstand" and "game center".
I googled "remove apps iphone" and found the following instructions.
Find the icon for the app you want to delete.
Tap and hold the icon until it starts to jump around (this indicates that you are in Edit Mode).
Tap the X that appears in the top-left corner of the unwanted app's icon.
Confirm by tapping Delete.
I followed the instructions but the X never showed up.
I figured they were preinstalled and not made to be easily removed. So I went to the forum to ask for alternative solutions.
If removal is not possible I want to at least get rid of the icons that are bloating my screen.
Anyway. It seams like they can't be removed without jailbreaking. Unless one is running ios ten.
So I'll just stash them in the "other" folder for now. Or find a better phone.
If you will go back and look at my post careful, I am not replying to you but to Sytan93 instead. If you can find any kind of a reasonable message in his cryptic response, you are better then I about decrypting such stuff.
Threats to switch to another phone carry no weight with us. Do whatever you wish.
The iPhone 4 is almost 10 years old so really you should be looking at replacing it anyway.

Your statement makes no sense what so ever.
Thanks! I'll settle with that.
Good. Hopefully, you'll be in a position to upgrade from your iPhone 4, which is by cell phone standards, rather ancient today.
Hehe 😀
Someone took too many Jedi lessons.
