Deleting Apps off iPhone

Hello.
Here's how you do it. Put 2 fingers on the screen and rotate them. Go until you hear actions and stop. Then, put your finger on the app you'd like to move/delete. Flick with 1 finger and you'll hear arange apps double tap. Then flick with 1 finger until you hear activate, and double tap. Go until you find the delete button and push it, and the app is gone! Once ynu're done, push the home button and that takes you out of editing mode. You can keep doing these same steps for deleting an app.

You realize that double tapping activates an app on the home screen. Well, there is another gesture very similar to the double tap that puts you into what is called "jiggle" mode. Double tap, but on the second tap, hold the finger down on the screen instead of lifting it. The iPhone then enters "jiggle" mode, or edit mode. Then select the app you want to delete. Do a normal double tap, and the iPhone will ask you if you want to delete that app. Confirm your choice, and voila--the app is gone.

Hello,

Here is another way.

One finger swipe up on an app. You will hear arrange app. One finger double tap and VO will say arranging app. Now when you swipe left or right, you will hear the app name followed by editing. To delete that app, single finger double tap and you will be asked if you really want to delete the app. You can then continue to delete the apps you no longer want or need. Once you’ve deleted the unwanted apps, click once on the home button to exit edit mode.

HTH and good luck.

There is an option to delete any added app in settings. Go to Settings/General/Storage & ICloud. In there, open "Manage storeage." All the apps will be listed. Find the app you want to delete and open it. Go all the way to the right and you will find the delete button. Activate it and you will be placed back into the list of apps. repeat the process for any other apps you want to delete.

Yes, all the apps you have purchased will be listed in the app store purchases whether they are still on your phone or not. The app isn't actually stored in iCloud, just something that tells the phone to download it again if you restore, if I understand correctly.

The only caveat to the restoration of deleted apps is that if they have been removed from the apps store, you will not be able to restore them from there. I keep copies of all apps in my computer's iTunes library, just in case.

However, this strategy will not work for everything as iOS 11 will not support old 32 bit apps, so whether I have them in my library or not, those will no longer work regardless.
