How to Remove or Delete Apps from iPhone 5/6/6s/Plus/7/7Plus

 

With over a billion apps in Apple store, even if a person has to try ten apps per day, it will require hundreds of years to try all of them. Moreover, new apps are uploaded every day on Apple store with latest graphics, features and new functions. So, if you are an active Apple user then sooner or later you will realize that you are running out of space on your iPhone, iPad or iPod. Even if you are using 64GB storage space, it won't be enough since half of the space will be acquired by multimedia files and the other half with applications. The thing to understand here is that the latest applications are very handy and cool to use but they require a lot of space on your Apple devices. Even if you have a stable backup system, you will need enough space on your device to run those applications and store new files.

 

One of the easiest way to free up space on your iPhone, iPad or iPod is to delete unused apps from iPhone, iPad or iPod. You will be surprised to see how much room it can make by deleting those unused apps. Once in a while, there has to be a lot of apps that you don't use in daily life. Those apps need to move out from your phone already. Now, in this guide we will show some methods to uninstall these apps permanently from your phone to make some empty space on your Apple devices.

 

The methods are more or less same on all Apple devices, so you can easily follow these procedures.
