Gradually, Apple had come to the terms that some of the controls must be given to the users as well. The avid iPhone users are quite aware about the issues they had to face with iPhones in the start. However, after every new iOS version, the controls have been loosen up & now you can make changes like editing the home screen itself.

We will be following the below steps to delete apps from iOS 13 device:
- On your iOS device home screen, go to the app you want to delete from your iPhone
- Here you are required to click & then hold onto the same app that we selected above.
- You need to hold on to the app until you see an auto pop-up with various menu options.
- Please know that you don’t need to put off your finger/thumb from the app until the apps on the screen start wiggling (the auto pop up menu will also vanish).
- Now you will see an X button displaying on the screen on all the applicable apps.
- Now click on the X button of that specific app you want to delete from your iOS device.
