The Simplest Method for Discovering and Removing Unused iPhone Apps

If you want to find and delete unused apps on your iPhone, the App Library page is a good place to start. Simply swipe left on your iPhone’s home screen to access it. Here, your installed apps are categorized, and you can delete any app you want by long-pressing on its icon and selecting “Delete App”. However, if you prefer a more organized approach, you can use the iPhone’s settings. Just follow these steps:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Select “General”.
  3. Go to “iPhone Storage”.

After a short wait, you will see a list of all the apps installed on your iPhone. The apps are arranged based on their size, with the largest one appearing at the top. Beside each app name, you will find the date when it was last used or accessed. To find unused apps, simply go through the list and look for apps that you haven’t used in the past 6-12 months. Once you have identified an app, you have two options:

  1. Tap on any third-party app.
  2. You can then choose to either:
    • Offload App: This frees up space occupied by the app, but keeps its documents and data intact. If you reinstall the app, it should work as it did before, including any saved progress.
    • Delete App: This completely and permanently erases the app, along with all related data.

Finally, tap on your chosen option again to confirm and execute the action.

BMW Munich and FC Bayern München Basketball announce a long-term partnership for sustainable mobility.

BMW Munich and FC Bayern München Basketball GmbH have joined forces in a mobility partnership, which was officially launched on July 1, 2023. The collaboration aims to provide sustainable transportation solutions for the five-time German champions. At a joint press conference held at the BMW retail outlet in Munich, the partners emphasized their commitment to promoting electric mobility and supporting social initiatives in the local community.

During the event, Bernd Döpke, Head of BMW Munich, handed over the keys to two fully-electric BMW iX cars. One car was given to Marko Pešić, the general manager of FC Bayern München Basketball GmbH, and the other to guard Andreas Obst on behalf of the team. The initiative will enable the basketball players and coaching staff to travel emission-free in the Munich area.

Speaking at the press conference, Döpke highlighted the significant contribution of FC Bayern to the development of basketball in Munich, both nationally and internationally. He also emphasized the shared values of success, dynamism, and the joy of sports that are embodied by both BMW Munich and FC Bayern München Basketball.

Starting from the upcoming season, BMW Park, the home stadium of FC Bayern München Basketball, will become the new venue for home matches. The renaming ceremony took place with Pešić symbolically presenting the keys to Rudi-Sedlmayer Hall, which was constructed in 1972.

Expressing his excitement about the partnership, Pešić expressed his gratitude for BMW’s support and emphasized the advantages of being located in close proximity to the automotive giant. He also emphasized the common goals shared by the two prestigious brands. The partnership aims to solidify FC Bayern München Basketball’s position among the top teams in Europe and attract more fans to the sport. Additionally, the collaboration will extend beyond sports, as both partners are committed to launching and supporting social projects in Munich.

The first matches to be held at BMW Park are scheduled for September 16th and 17th, 2023, as part of a warm-up tournament. The inaugural home match in the BBL league will take place on September 29th, 2023, against the Mitteldeutscher Basketball Club. The joint social initiatives will also commence in the new season, with further details to be announced at a later date.

Opel Combo Life Spy Photos Capture Van Hiding Refreshed Front Fascia

Opel has undisclosed plans for its new home with Stellantis. The brand’s upcoming Grandland will be an electric vehicle based on the STLA Medium platform, as part of Opel’s goal to become a fully electric brand in the coming years. However, before that transition, Opel is working on updating the Combo Life van, which was recently spotted undergoing changes while camouflaged.

The modifications made by Opel are focused on the front of the van, although they remain hidden beneath a thick cover. The new design features restyled air intakes located on the outer edges of the front bumper and integrated fog lights, all of which can still be identified despite the concealment.

VAUXHALL WINS BIG AT THE GREAT BRITISH FLEET AWARDS 2023

 

  • Vauxhall takes home the title of ‘Fleet Manufacturer of the Year’ at the Great British Fleet Awards 2023
  • Vauxhall Corsa was also awarded the ‘Best Fleet Supermini’, Vauxhall Astra was named ‘Best Lower Medium Fleet Car’, and Vauxhall Vivaro took ‘Medium Van of the Year’ at the awards
  • Vauxhall is one of the few brands able to offer fleets a fully electric van across its entire LCV line-up
  • By 2028, Vauxhall’s entire car and van range will be fully electric – seven years ahead of the Government deadline

Vauxhall has been awarded the title of ‘Fleet Manufacturer of the Year’, at last night’s Great British Fleet Awards 2023 in Milton Keynes organised by Fleet World. The Vauxhall Astra, Corsa and Vivaro were also celebrated, taking home the ‘Best Lower Medium Fleet Car’, ‘Best Fleet Supermini’, and ‘Medium Van of the Year’ titles, respectively.

The ‘Fleet Manufacturer of the Year’ title reflects Vauxhall’s position as one of the UK’s most versatile fleet operators. Across its Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) segment, it is one of the few manufacturers in the country able to offer fleets an electrified variant across its entire model line-up, alongside diesel versions. Vauxhall has been the UK’s best-selling e-LCV manufacturer for the past two years running.

Vauxhall’s passenger vehicle range has also grown significantly over the course of the past 12 months, with the brand now selling electrified variants across every model with the exception of the Crossland. By 2028 it will be an electric-only manufacturer, seven years ahead of the UK Government deadline. Vauxhall’s commitment to electrification, and its versatile product range is making it easier for businesses to go green.

The Vauxhall Vivaro was named the ‘Medium Van Of the Year’ at last night’s awards. The award winning Vivaro has been the UK’s best-selling electric light commercial vehicle for two consecutive years. Available with a 50kWh or a 75kWh battery, the Vivaro Electric achieves a WLTP range of up to 205 miles from a single charge and comes with a maximum payload of up to 1,226kg. The Vivaro Electric is joined by the Combo Electric and Movano Electric. 

The Fleet World judges named the Vauxhall Corsa as their ‘Best Fleet Supermini’, a fitting title for the UK’s best-selling supermini of 2022, while the Astra took home the award for ‘Best Lower Medium Fleet Car’.

Both Corsa and Astra continue to be popular options for both private and fleet buyers. Astra offers efficient petrol and diesel variants as well as a highly efficient Plug-in Hybrid model capable of travelling up to 43 miles (WLTP, EAER) on electric power alone. Corsa has been available as a fully electric variant since 2020. The latest Corsa Electric provides up to 222 miles of range (WLTP) from its 50kWh battery, while a 0-80% charge takes just 30 minutes to complete from a 100kW rapid charger. The Astra Electric and Astra Sports Tourer Electric will be joining the Vauxhall range later this year, providing even more electric vehicle options for fleet customers.

John Challen, Editor, Fleet World, said: “Vauxhall has always been committed to the demands of fleet drivers and the latest Astra is just one example of how it still has its eye on the ball. The arrival of plug-in hybrid and electric versions of its core fleet models ensures that the brand will remain a popular choice as the market moves away from diesel and petrol power.”

James Taylor, Managing Director, Vauxhall, said: “I’m delighted to see that Fleet World has recognised Vauxhall as ‘Fleet Manufacturer of the Year’. It is a true indication of Vauxhall’s commitments to fleet users and how the latest Vauxhall range continues to adapt to meet the needs of today’s drivers as we move towards a fully electric car and van range from 2028.”

With the recent launch of the Astra GSe and the Astra Sports Tourer GSe, fleet users can now enjoy uprated electrified drivetrains and improved handling thanks to suspension and steering upgrades. Astra GSe and Astra Sports Tourer GSe are both eligible for a Benefit-in-Kind rate of just 8% and 12%, respectively.
