If your iPhone 7 is running out of storage or you no longer need certain apps, uninstalling them is a quick way to free up space. Whether you want to remove an app from the home screen or delete it permanently, here’s how to uninstall apps on iPhone 7.
- Uninstall Apps from the Home Screen
This is the fastest way to remove apps:
- Find the app you want to uninstall on your home screen.
- Press and hold the app icon until a menu appears.
- Tap Remove App, then select Delete App to confirm.
This will delete the app and free up storage on your device.
- Uninstall Apps from Settings
If you need to manage storage while uninstalling apps, use the Settings app:
- Open Settings and go to General.
- Tap iPhone Storage and wait for the list of apps to load.
- Find the app you want to uninstall and tap on it.
- Select Delete App and confirm your choice.
This method lets you see how much space each app is using before deleting it.
- Offload Apps Without Deleting Data
If you want to remove an app but keep its data for future use:
- Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
- Tap on the app you want to offload.
- Select Offload App instead of Delete App.
This will remove the app but keep its data intact, so you can reinstall it later without losing saved information.
- Uninstall Apps Using the App Store
If you’ve downloaded an app from the App Store and want to remove it:
- Open the App Store and tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Scroll down to see a list of installed apps.
- Swipe left on the app you want to uninstall and tap Delete.
