Confused? You can’t delete apps in iOS 13, you might be, because the trick of deleting apps is changed, but here is a quick way to delete apps in iOS 13 on any iPhone.
Before installing iOS 13, all iPhone users were using the same technique to delete unwanted apps in previous iOS versions, and the technique was:
Press and hold on the app’s icon until the app starts shaking back and forth. Then tap on the X button that appears in the corner of the icon, confirm to delete the app, and the app will be deleted forever from your iPhone. Once you have deleted apps on your iPhone, you’d either tap the “Done Button” on iPhone (X or later) or press the “Home button” on iPhone (older models).
Do you think it was the quickest way of deleting unwanted apps?
Probably, YES!
But it was a way that most of the users have adopted for permanently deleting the app and freeing up more storage on their iPhones
Well, if you have installed iOS 13, then get ready to learn more tips and tricks. Here’s the quickest and newest way to delete apps on the updated iOS 13 and 13.1 operating systems.
Deleting apps in iOS 13 and 13.1 is not entirely new. You still have to do the same (press and hold on the app’s icon), but you have to press and keep holding because of one of the new features added to iOS 13.
If you have ever tried the iPhone XR, Apple has introduced the Haptic Feedback feature. Luckily, in iOS 13, you have to long-press an app to summon up shortcuts, and other commands like XR. iOS 13 and 13.1 perform similarly in all iPhone models due to their vulnerability and consistency.
