It would seem a simple question - how to delete an application on iOS 11? But some users often ask it, which means we must tell you how to do it. In fact, it is extremely simple and after watching these instructions, you will do it quickly on your iPhone or iPad. You can also remove factory apps from Apple, freeing up some extra space on your phone or tablet.
Quick removal method
On the home screen we find any application that needs to be removed. Next, press it with your finger and hold it for about a second until the icons begin to “shake”
and a cross will appear above them, by clicking on which you can quickly remove any application from the iPhone.
note— you just need to touch the icon and not press on it, otherwise 3D Touch will work and show additional functions or application widgets.
Is it possible to delete system applications?
iOS 11 has a number of applications that were installed by the manufacturer at the factory. Some of them can also be removed. But here it is worth paying attention to the fact that you will not remove the utilities necessary for the system to operate; at best, they will simply be hidden from the home screen.
Programs such as GarageBand, iMovie or Podcasts can be deleted if necessary, then you can reinstall them from App Store. To do this, just go into it and search by name earlier remote program, after which we freely download it to your iPhone or iPad.
Agree that it is applications that make the iPhone a functional gadget capable of performing a lot of useful tasks. But since Apple smartphones are not equipped with the ability to expand memory, over time, almost every user faces the question of deleting unnecessary information. Today we will look at ways to remove applications from iPhone.
So, you need to completely remove applications from your iPhone. This task can be accomplished in different ways, and each of them will be useful in its own case.
Method 1: Desktop
Method 2: Settings
Also any installed application can also be deleted through the settings of the Apple device.
Method 3: Download Applications
iOS 11 has introduced such an interesting feature as downloading programs, which will be especially interesting to users of devices with a small amount of memory. Its essence is that the space occupied by the program will be freed up on the gadget, but the documents and data related to it will be saved.
The application icon with a small icon in the form of a cloud will also remain on the desktop. As soon as you need to access the program, simply select the icon, after which the smartphone will begin downloading. You can perform downloading in two ways: automatically and manually.
Please note that restoring a downloaded application is only possible if it is still available in the App Store. If for some reason the program disappears from the store, it will not be restored.
Automatic download
A useful function that will operate automatically. Its essence is that the programs that you access least often will be unloaded by the system from the smartphone’s memory. If you suddenly need the application, its icon will be in the same place.
Manual loading
You can independently determine which programs will be downloaded from your phone. This can be done through the settings.
- Open settings on your iPhone and go to the section "Basic". In the window that opens, select a section "iPhone Storage".
- In the next window, find and open the program of interest.
- Tap the button "Download program", and then confirm your intention to perform this action.
Method 4: Complete removal of content
There's no way to delete all apps on iPhone, but if that's what you need to do, you'll need to wipe content and settings, i.e. full reset devices. And since this issue has already been discussed on the site, we will not dwell on it.
Method 5: iTools
Unfortunately, the ability to manage applications has been removed from iTunes. But iTools, an analogue of iTunes, but with a much wider range of capabilities, will do an excellent job of removing programs via a computer.
At least occasionally, delete applications from your iPhone using any method suggested in the article, and then you will not encounter a lack of free space.
Hi all! Now I will say one very banal thing - unused games and applications take up the precious memory of your iPhone, and to free it up, they must be deleted. Moreover, it would seem that such a simple process as erasing programs should not cause any difficulties. Clicked and deleted. This happens most often. But often does not mean all the time.
Sometimes, some program or toy refuses to be removed or other problems arise. That is why I have already prepared instructions (large and useful) that will teach you how to completely, completely and irrevocably delete programs and games downloaded to your iPhone or iPad, and also tell you how to behave if something doesn’t work out. Let's go! :)
How to remove a program from iPhone and iPad
Here we have three methods - you are free to choose absolutely any one. The process for each of them is quite simple, so... I'll keep it short:
In fact, the simplest and quick way– this is of course the first. This is what is used in most cases. However, others also have the right to exist. For example, uninstalling a program through Settings allows you to control the amount of memory on your iPhone or iPad. Well, there’s no need to talk about using iTunes - many people work with their device exclusively using it, and it’s much more convenient for them to do it this way.
By the way, in my practice I met a person who persistently proved to me that it is possible to correctly remove programs and, in general, to fully work with Apple equipment only through iTunes. Everything else is a complete mistake and stupidity. Thank God our communication was short-lived.
Is it possible to completely remove a program from an iPhone and how to do it?
As soon as you use any of the methods indicated above, you completely remove the program. However, it will still appear in the "purchases" section as a cloud with an arrow. Which means it is available to download at any time from your account.
Unfortunately, you cannot completely remove applications from this list. Since this goes against the very essence of this list - to allow the user to download applications without forcing him to pay for them again. However, they can be hidden and not shown in the list of previously downloaded ones.
How to Hide a Game or App from Purchases on iPhone or iPad
To do this, you will need to be connected to a computer and have iTunes installed.
Updated! Just recently Apple went crazy and now there is no App Store in iTunes on your computer. Just like that - they just took it and put it away. But we need him! What to do? Don't despair - I have it.
Have you downloaded and installed the “correct” version? Now let's get down to business:
That’s it, this way the application is completely “removed” from the device and is not visible in the purchase list. It turns out that it’s as if you never downloaded this program or a game - it is not on the device, and it is not displayed in the iCloud cloud either. However, everything can be returned back.
How to display all programs in the shopping list
To display all those applications that we hid with you in the previous paragraph, we also need iTunes.
- Open iTunes and sign in with your Apple ID.
- Again, click on the name and select “Account Information” from the list.
- You may be asked to enter your password again - do so.
- In the window that opens, find the item “iTunes in the cloud.” Under it there will be an inscription - “Hidden purchases”, and on the right - “Manage”.
- You will see all hidden content. Just select the one you need and click “Show”.
But sometimes these manipulations are not enough for complete removal, because there is also information that accumulates in the process of interaction with a program or game. Let's find out how to get rid of it...
How to delete all game data on iPhone and iPad?
As you progress through any game, so-called game progress, achievements and other merits that you earn in the process accumulate. And that's great. But sometimes you want to start the game “again”, without all these saves, but when you reinstall the game you have to start not from the beginning, but from the level you finished.
What to do in this case? How to erase everything and start from scratch? There are two solutions and it all depends on where this data is stored:
Only by clearing this data, we can say that the application or game has been completely removed from the iPhone or iPad. But sometimes problems arise...
Why are games and applications not deleted in iOS and what should I do?
It would seem that what could be difficult about deleting a program? But believe me, this happens...
Listed below are the most popular problems that a user may encounter, as well as their solutions:
- There is no cross on the application icon or there is no delete button (if the actions are performed through the settings). Solution! Most likely, restrictions have been set and deletion is blocked. You can remove them by going to Settings – Universal access – Restrictions – Uninstall programs.
- The game was deleted, but the empty icon from it remained and is not deleted in any way. Or the application is in standby and loading mode, and they cannot be deleted! Solution! Everything about such ailments is possible.
- You can delete, but not all applications - some do not have a cross. Solution! There are two possible options here: standard applications from Apple itself (, weather, calculator, etc.) it is impossible to remove them (with the advent of iOS 10 such an opportunity appeared). Or, these are programs downloaded when using jailbreak - some of them must be removed directly through Cydia (Cydia - Manage - Packages).
It would seem like a simple process - to delete a game or application, but I didn’t expect how voluminous the article turned out. Therefore, if you read it to the end, then it is worth noting this matter and praising yourself by giving it a “like”!
P.S. And of course, if you have any questions or something doesn’t work out, feel free to write in the comments. I'll try to answer everyone!
