How to Uninstall Applications on iPhone Permanently

Still discussing tutorials on using the iPhone. On this occasion I will explain various ways to uninstall applications on the iPhone.

It turns out that there will always be new users who cannot do easy things like delete applications. These new users will wonder how to uninstall applications on the iPhone, even though it’s really easy.

OK, so before going to the tutorial, make sure before deleting the application, you really think you don’t need the application. If everything has been considered, let’s go straight to the tutorial.

Tips before uninstalling applications on iPhone

Before deleting iPhone applications, there are several tips that you should pay attention to:

  • Make sure the application you want to delete is not important or is no longer used. Don’t rush to delete the application, you should first consider whether the application is still needed or not.
  • Backup important data stored in the application. Some apps may store important data such as photos, videos, or documents. Make sure to back up the data before deleting the application so you don’t lose it.
  • Make sure that the application is not a built-in application provided by Apple and is used by default. Deleting default applications can cause some features on the iPhone to not function properly.
  • Check if there are any subscription fees or in-app purchases. If you have already made a purchase or subscription, make sure to cancel it first so you don’t incur recurring fees after the app is deleted.
  • Make sure your iPhone is connected to a stable WiFi network or internet. Some applications may require an internet network to delete data or information stored in them.

By paying attention to the tips above, you can avoid problems or losing important data when deleting applications on your iPhone.

The application and the data in it should have been permanently deleted. If necessary, restart the iPhone so that the iPhone’s memory and cache show the actual data.

Deleting iPhone Apps Via Settings

Apart from deleting via the iPhone homepage, users can also delete iPhone applications permanently via settings. Here are the steps:

  1. Open Arrangement iPhones.
  2. Select an option General.
  3. Then select iPhone Storage.
  4. Select the application you want to delete.
  5. Last select Delete App.

Oh yes, you will definitely see 2 options, namely Remove App and Delete App. The following is an explanation of the differences:

  • Exit App: This will delete the application on the iPhone but the document history and data will still be stored in the App Store. This means that when you install the application, the data history will return to how it was before.
  • Delete App: This will permanently delete the app and all data stored on the iPhone. No application cache stored.

How to delete apps on iPhone that won’t delete, is there a way?

The default iPhone applications can be deleted, provided that your iPhone must be jailbroken first.

What is jailbreak? Jailbreak or jailbreaking is the process of removing iOS system restrictions imposed by Apple. By jailbreaking users can get full access, on Android it is better known as root access.

Jailbreaking is also very dangerous for iPhone devices. Among them are iPhone security becoming vulnerable, iPhone being unstable, battery getting damaged quickly, service interruptions, not getting system updates and many more.

So it’s better not to have to jailbreak just to delete the application.

The final word

That’s the tutorial on how to uninstall applications on an iPhone. How, it’s very easy isn’t it? You don’t need to open the iTunes App to delete iPhone apps.

In my opinion, this second method is more practical and can do a lot at once, because you just need to press a button X to delete other applications.

That’s all for this iPhone tutorial article, I hope it’s useful.
