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.
