Apple apps

A

pple provides a varied selection of ‘stock’

apps on your iOS devices. There are

the essentials, such as Mail, Notes and

Calendar, but plenty of others such as Home,

News and Stocks, that you may not use. In fact,

there are very few stock apps that Apple deems

absolutely essential, in that you can’t remove them

from your device (these include Camera, Photos

and Wallet), so if you have unwanted apps taking

up space, removing them is easy. By pressing on

most app icons, you’ll see the option to ‘Rearrange

Apps’ and tapping this triggers the familiar effect

from iterations of iOS gone by, when the icons

shake and small ‘X’ icons appear in the corner.

From here, you can drag icons onto others to

create folders – just move them into new positions

on the grid, or delete them altogether. Don’t worry,

in this tutorial we also show you how to restore any

apps you delete.
