Here's How to Delete Apps on Your Device

Although it seems trivial, but maybe not many people know how to delete applications that are already installed on the device they are using. For those of you who want to know how to delete apps on the device you’re using, whether it’s based on Android, iOS, or Windows 10, check out this article.

Delete apps on your iPhone, iPod, or iPad

Press the X on the icon of the application you want to remove.
Then press the red button. This method will delete the app from your iPhone/iPad/iPod.

For users of iOS-based devices, there are other ways that can be used:

Open section Settings then General, then iPhone Storage. Highlight to the bottom, and you will see a list of installed apps.
Tap on the name of the app you want to delete.
Then press section Delete App which appears on the screen afterwards. Press the same section again to confirm deletion of the app.

iOS is a type of OS that is quite flexible, because you can delete applications automatically, especially for applications that have not been used for a long time. How, go to the menu Settings, General, iPhone Storage and next to options Offload Unused Apps, select part Enable.

The automatic method above will not delete the data stored in the application, but it will really help save internal storage space on your device.
