How to Remove Unused Apps on iPhone

We install various apps on our iPhones for communication, work, study, entertainment, and so on. These apps made our lives more convenient to some extent. However, as more and more apps are installed on your iPhone, you’ll find some of them you barely used. They take much of the storage of your iPhone and there is no enough space to store other more important files. If you have this trouble and you want to delete these apps from your iPhone, this article will give you detailed solutions about how to remove unused apps on iPhone.

How to remove unused apps on iphone

Method 1. Remove Unused Apps on iPhone Directly

Actually, there are two choices for you when you try to remove apps on iPhone directly — "Offload App" and "Delete App". The former means to remove the app itself but keep its documents and data, while the latter delete the app and all related data. Depending on your situation you can choose one of the two options to free the storage. Followed is the detailed guide for you

Step 1Unlock your iPhone and tap Settings. Scroll down to tap General > iPhone Storage.

Step 2 Scroll down to see all the apps you have installed on your iPhone. Find the app you want to remove and tap it, then you will see the two options we mentioned before which are “Offload App” and “Delete App”. Tap one of them to delete or offload the app. (You can still reinstall the deleted app from App Store as long as the app is still available from the App Store.) But you need to tap the apps one by one to delete them. So it’s not very convenient if you have many unused apps on your iPhone.
