How to Delete Hidden Apps on Any iPhone

Discover the simple steps to remove hidden apps from your iPhone effortlessly.

Do you have any apps on your iPhone that you don't use or need anymore? Well, you're not alone. Many of us have apps on our phones that we don't even remember downloading. These apps take up valuable space on our devices and can slow down its performance. But don't worry, in this blog post, we will provide you with a simple and easy-to-follow guide on how to delete hidden apps on your iPhone.

1. Use the App Library

The App Library is a new feature introduced in iOS 14 that shows all the apps on your device in one location. It's an excellent way to organize your apps and find the ones you need quickly. To access it, swipe left on your home screen until you see the App Library icon. You can also access the App Library by swiping down on your home screen.

Once you're in the App Library, you can find the app you want to delete and hold down on it until all your apps start shaking. You'll see an "X" icon appear on the top left corner of the app icon. Tap the "Delete" button and confirm by tapping "Delete App". The app will be deleted from your device, and the space it was taking up will be freed up.

2. Open Settings

If you prefer using Settings, you can delete hidden apps from there too. Open the Settings app on your iPhone and select "General." Next, tap on "iPhone Storage." This will show you a list of all the installed apps on your device. Find the app(s) you want to delete and tap on it. You'll see an option to "Offload App" or "Delete App." Choose "Delete App" to remove the app from your device.

Once you've selected "Delete App," you'll be asked to confirm. Tap "Delete" again, and the app will be deleted from your device. This method is an excellent way to free up space on your iPhone and keep it running smoothly.

3. Delete Hidden Apps from the App Store

If you've downloaded hidden apps from the App Store, you can delete them from there too. Open up the App Store on your iPhone and tap on your profile picture at the top right corner of the screen. From there, select "Recently Updated" or "Upcoming Updates" and look for any apps that shouldn't be there. Swipe left on the app you want to delete and tap "Delete."

Confirm the deletion by tapping "Delete" again when prompted. This will remove the app from your device and free up the space it was taking up.

4. Use Spotlight

If you're still having trouble finding hidden apps, you can use Spotlight search to locate and delete them. To access Spotlight, tap "Search" at the bottom of your screen or swipe down on your home screen. Type in the name of the app(s) that need deleting and once they appear in search results, tap-hold their icon until 'delete' option appears. Tap on "Delete" to remove the app from your device.

Deleting hidden apps from your iPhone is a simple and easy process that can free up valuable space on your device and keep it running smoothly. Whether you prefer using the App Library, Settings, App Store, or Spotlight, there's a method that will work for you. Remember to confirm the deletion by tapping "Delete" again when prompted to avoid unnecessary space issues. Thanks for reading, and we hope this guide helps you free up space on your iPhone!
