Unlock your iPhone to access your home screen.
Your home screen is where all the magic starts. Make sure you’re on the home screen where your apps are displayed.

Tap the "X" on each app you wish to delete.
A confirmation message will pop up for each app to make sure you really want to say goodbye. Confirm the deletion to remove the app from your device.

This method provides a list of all your apps, including their sizes. It’s especially helpful if you want to see which apps are hogging your storage.
-
Press the home button or tap "Done" to exit edit mode.
Once satisfied with your cleanup, simply exit the mode to keep your remaining apps in place.
After completing these steps, your iPhone will have fewer apps cluttering your screens, giving you a tidy and organized interface. Plus, you’ll likely notice more storage space and better performance.
Current iPhone note
Menu names can move between iOS releases. If a setting is not where an older model-specific article places it, use the search field in Settings and verify the feature name before assuming it was removed.
