Another way of deleting apps from the home screen on iOS using VoiceOver

Hi everyone,

Is there another way of deleting apps from the home screen on iOS using VoiceOver instead of the rotor or not? I'm trying to uninstall the iAssociate 3 app and I can't seem to find the edit mode option in my rotor. How can I delete said app from my home screen using VoiceOver?
Cheers,
André

Hi,
Try double tapping and holding on the app until VoiceOver announces ‘started editing’. Then let go, and double tap on the app as if you were opening it! An alert dialogue should appear giving you the option to delete it!
Hope that helps :)

Another method for deleting apps (perhaps more completely) is to go into Settings / General / iPhone Storage.

In this dialog is a list of all of your apps and the amount of storage they are taking up. You can delete apps from within this dialog. I have found it to be a way of more completely removing the app and associated data.
