How to uninstall standard iOS apps 9. How to uninstall standard iOS apps without jailbreak. Applications are not deleted: what is the reason

Since iOS 9.3 iPhone users and iPad now have the legal ability to hide (remove) icons of standard applications from the home screen. In this article, we will explain how it works.

iOS has always boasted of a minimal set of applications coming "out of the box", but from version to version the number of programs began to grow, and only a few moved into the category used in everyday life. The rest are hanging like a dead weight, at best in some daddy, and at worst - on the farthest screen of the springboard. For me personally, they are stored in the "Apple" folder =)

Previously, in order to hide the icons of unused and non-removable standard applications, it was necessary either to resort to this method, to jailbreak services, or to use tricks with folders that did not work in all versions of iOS, and after a reboot, the effect stopped and it was necessary to "conjure" again ...

In iOS 9.3, at the request of users, Apple released the official proprietary Apple Configurator tool, with which you can hide application icons.

But right away I would like to talk about the main disadvantages:

• Apple Configurator only works on computers running OS X 10.11.4 or later.
• The procedure involves hiding icons, not uninstalling programs, so that space on the iPhone or iPad will not be freed up. And it is unlikely that "Shares" or "Soviets" take up a lot of space.

How to remove app icons on iPhone and iPad

1. Download and install Apple Configurator for Mac OS X.

2. Start the program.

3. Create a new profile by opening the File → New Profile menu (or use the Command (⌘) + N keyboard shortcut).

4. In the left side menu, select the “Generals” section, and in the “Name” field, enter a name for the profile, for example, “Hide icons”.

5. In the “Restrictions” section, click the “Configure” button.

6. Click on the “Apps” tab.

7. In the “Restrict App Usage” field, select “Do not allow some apps”.

8. In the field below, click the plus sign.

9. In the search bar, enter the ID corresponding to the application you want to hide and click the “Choose” button.

List of standard application IDs:

In the same way, add to the list all applications that you want to hide.

10. Click on the cross to finish working with the profile, and then save it in a convenient place for yourself (by default, in documents).

11. Connect your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to your computer, select your device, tap on the “Add” button and select “Profiles”.

12. Select the saved profile and click the “Add” button. Profile sync starts.

If the following message appears, it means you need to unlock your device.

That's it, the icons will be removed from the desktop and will not be displayed even after a reboot. If you want to return the icons of some applications, then edit the profile by removing from the list required programs, and then re-upload the profile to the device.

Based on materials from yablyk

You decide what to keep. No jailbreak required.

What is the problem

We don't use many of the built-in iOS apps. However, it is impossible to take and remove Advice, Apple Watch (in their absence), Compass, Podcasts and other "Apple legacy" through the settings menu.

If you have, then problems are solved quickly with the help of tweaks. The rest have to make a folder like Junk, Trash, Apple, CrApps, etc., where the unnecessary Apple application is placed.

We finally found radical option.

Recently, we got the opportunity to decide what is needed in iOS and what No... This is how my Springboard looks now:

A total of 12 applications that I really need. One page, no folders!

Result: it's up to you to decide which Apple apps remain on your desktop. After a reboot, nothing changes.

What you need to get started: , Mac computer, willingness to perform a full reset of the device, desire.

Getting rid of standard applications

The site team is not responsible for any breakdowns and malfunctions that may result from following these instructions. Everything that you do, you do solely at your own peril and risk *.

* But we are always ready to help in the comments :)

Before starting the installation

NECESSARILY! I repeat once more NECESSARILY!

• Create a backup using stationary iTunes versions... The instructions below are performed exclusively using the official Apple software, but the presence backup will protect against any failures and problems.
• Disable Find My iPhone... This can be done in the menu Settings -> iCloud -> Find iPhone where there is a corresponding slider.

Note: keep in mind that you can only get rid of applications using full reset devices (data will remain in iCloud). In addition, restoring a device from a backup will return all applications. Before starting the installation, create screenshots of the desktop. They will help you later manually download the necessary software from App Store.

Necessary software

1. Utility Apple Configurator is also available in the Mac App Store, but we need the latest 2.2 beta. Download Apple Configurator 2.2 beta You can . Install it.
2. Download the beta version of iOS 9.3, which strictly matches your iOS device model. All firmwares are available.

Installation process

After finishing the installation Apple Configurator 2.2 beta, connect your iOS device to your Mac. Configurator will detect the device. Select it (once click on the icon of a smartphone, player or tablet) and click on Prepare.

The settings for the next few steps are given in the form of a screenshot number and a corresponding text explanation:

1. Leave the value Manual... Push Next.

2. Since connecting the settings server for remote control we are not interested, we choose the value Do not enroll in MDM... We press Next.

3. Our task is to get supervisor's rights which will enable you to customize your own application package. We set two checkboxes: Supervise devices and Allow devices to pair ...... We press Next.

4. We indicate the name - in Latin. Other columns can be left blank. We press Next.

5. The next item is directly related to the creation of rights supervisor... Since we are pairing an iOS device for the first time, we select the item Generate a new supervision identity... We press Next.

6. Choosing the steps that will be offered after a complete reset of the device (entering Apple ID, connecting to Wi-Fi, ToucID settings, etc.). I recommend leaving Show all steps... We press Prepare and select the item Restore.

The next dialog box depends on which operating system installed on your iOS device. Apple Configurator will prompt you to download the latest firmware version - iOS 9.2.1, you have to agree to this.

If you already have iOS 9.3 beta: agree to do Downgrade- the procedure for downgrading the firmware to iOS 9.2.1 (the system image will be downloaded from the Internet).

The process of downgrading or installing firmware consists of several stages: Downloads, opening the archive, the installation itself on the iOS device... Please note that during the entire time of working with Apple Configurator, the device must be connected to the computer via a Lightning cable.

During iOS installations-the device will reboot two times and meet a friend Hello!... Go through the familiar procedure with entering your Apple ID, connecting to Wi-Fi networks, activating the device.

Note 1: If activation fails the first time, re-enter your Apple ID, and in the Apple Configurator window, click Activate immediately after activation on iPhone.

Note 2: give up iMessage activation and keychain (password) settings. The first will save money on the account, the second - nerves, since the next stage of setup will require:

Upgrade to iOS 9.3

After successful completion of the process obtaining supervisor rights, iOS 9.2.1 is installed on the iOS device, and in the Apple Configurator application the smartphone (tablet, player) is displayed in the category Supervised:

It's time to upgrade to iOS 9.3 beta. Open the folder where you saved the firmware (download -). Next, open a window with Apple Configurator. Drag the firmware file onto the device image and select Update.

Further steps completely coincide with the process of installing iOS 9.2.1 - three stages of installation, data entry on the device itself, activation.

As a result, we have an iOS device with the rights supervisor running on iOS 9.3. Make sure by opening Settings -> General -> About this device... It's time to create your own profile that will disable unnecessary Apple apps.

Create a profile and disable applications

The iOS device is still connected to the Mac. In Apple Configurator, open File -> New Profile... The profile settings window will open.

As the name of the profile, you can choose any (preferably in Latin), under which you want to save it as a file.

Identifier- the name of the profile during installation in iOS.
Organization- can be left blank.
Description- you can enable the list of applications that you plan to hide.
Content Message- the text that will be displayed during installation.

After filling in all the fields, open the tab Restrictions and click on the button Configure... The settings window will open. We are interested in the tab Apps:

In the dropdown list Restrict App Usage select item Do not allow some apps:

By pressing the button " + », You will open a search box bundles- application names by the corresponding identifier. Every iOS app has its own ID. List of applications and their corresponding identifiers:

Add the appropriate identifier name to the search bar (for example: com.apple.podcasts) and select the first object from the list.

Continue adding apps you plan to hide by specifying the appropriate IDs. Once you have decided on the list, select File-> Save and give a name to the profile:

The profile editor can now be closed. Select your iOS device (single tap on the image) in the Apple Configurator window, then press the button Add-> Profiles.

Select the saved profile - and immediately after installation, the icons, the identifiers of which were previously indicated in the profile, will disappear from the iPhone.

Note: profile application does not actually uninstall apps from iOS. You can always restore the standard operating mode.

What have I turned off

My list of disabled software is as follows. Maybe it will help someone to decide:

• Podcasts - I consider it an outdated format for presenting information;
• Tips - Everything Apple has to offer is already known;
• Apple Watch - I don't have them;
• Wallet - you are not interested in booking an airplane or a hotel;
• Dictaphone - found an alternative;
• iTunes Store - YouTube and Apple Music are enough;
• Weather - I prefer Yahoo Weather;
• Finding friends is not interesting;
• Video - I found an alternative, but I don't store movies on my iPhone;
• Promotions - disabled by configuring the display of data in the Widget;
• Game Center - last launched a couple of years ago;
• Reminders - found an alternative;
• Find iPhone - there is a Mac;
• Compass - I do not use it, there are more convenient applications;
• Maps - switched to Google Maps;
• iBooks - found an alternative.

I do not experience any inconvenience without these applications. And so decide for yourself what to refuse.

AppStore abounds free apps: the user's eyes literally run up when he first enters this virtual store. The user installs funny applications one after another, without reasoning about their usefulness, as well as about what the cluttering of memory will lead to: the device will freeze... At the first "alarming symptoms", the user already begins to think about how to remove applications from the iPhone, until there is a need to reset the settings to the factory settings. Fortunately, there are several ways to delete - the owner of the "apple" gadget has the right to choose which one suits him best.

Removing games and applications from the desktop (this method is also called 5-touch method) Is the simplest option. Follow these instructions:

Step 1... Click the " Home"To return to the desktop.

Step 2... Touch the icon of the application that you would like to delete with your finger and hold for 2-3 seconds until all the icons begin to shake. Then you can remove your finger.

You will see crosses appear in the upper left corners of the icons.

Step 3... Click on the "cross" - the iPhone will ask for confirmation of the delete operation and warn that all data stored in the program will be erased.

Step 4... Click " Delete”, And the icon will disappear from the desktop - this means that the program has been removed from the iPhone.

Step 5... Click the " Home"Again, so that the icons stop" shaking "and you can again fully use the gadget.

Please note that the icons of the built-in applications also “shake” when pressed for a long time, but the “cross” does not appear above them.

Delete any standard applications iPhone is not possible.

We remove unnecessary applications through the "Settings"

Remove programs through the built-in application " Settings"Can only be used from those gadgets on which the iOS version above 5.0 (inclusive). This method is more informative - users can see how much memory this or that program occupies, and it is on this that they base the decision on the advisability of deleting.

To completely remove the program via " Settings", Proceed like this:

Step 1. Follow the path " Settings» — « The main» — « Statistics”, And you will see a list of programs installed on the gadget. Initially, only the most "weighty" applications will be shown - if you want to view full list, click on the button " Show all programs ".

On the right, you can see the weight of the application.

Step 2... Select the unnecessary application, click on its icon and on the next page click on the button " Delete a program". Then confirm the deletion in the window that appears.

This completes the uninstallation procedure.

How to completely uninstall apps via iTunes?

You can also erase applications from the iPhone through iTunes, even if it is not the most convenient and quick way... You need to act like this:

Step 1... Connect the gadget to a PC via a USB cable or Wi-Fi and run ITunes.

Step 2... Select the connected device in the sidebar on the left. If there is no panel, you can call it by pressing CTRL + S.

Step 3. On the device control screen, select the " Programs».

Step 4... You can remove it in one of two ways. The first way: find unnecessary program in the list and click " Delete».

Second way: scroll through the home screens, select the one on which the unnecessary application is located, and double-click on the screen with the left mouse button. Then just click on the "cross" located above the unnecessary application.

Step 5. Click " Apply”, And after synchronization, the program will be removed from the iPhone.

Apps are not uninstalled: what is the reason?

If the icons "tremble" after a long press, but the cross does not appear in the upper corner, this means that the settings are prohibited from uninstalling programs. You can remove this prohibition like this:

Step 1... Follow the path " Settings» — « The main» — « Restrictions».

Step 2. Enter the security password (the same one that you always enter when unlocking the gadget). Be careful: there are only two attempts!

Step 3... Switch the toggle switch opposite to " Removing programs»Into an active position.

You can then uninstall applications as usual.

Owners of jailbroken iPhones can also face problems when uninstalling programs from Cydia - often there is simply no “cross” on the icons. In this case, it is better to erase applications directly through the alternative store (the path " Cydia» — « Manage» — « Packages»).

Can I Erase Game Data on iPhone?

Progress in games from the AppStore is tied to account, so if the user wants to start the game over, he has two options:

It was after deleting game data from iCloud the user can be sure to have completely erased the application.

Conclusion

An important advantage available to Apple owners is that even after deleting from the iPhone, any application can be restored, because the programs are not attached to specific device, and to the account in iTunes... Users of paid software do not need to worry: they will not have to pay again for re-downloading the remote application.

Personally, I don't like the fact that my iPhone has apps like Newsstand, Compass, Passbook and others that I never use. It turns out that it is very easy to hide them out of sight without resorting to jailbreak.

The plan for cutting out the icons of unnecessary default applications is as follows:

1. Go from mobile Safari to rag3hack.no-ip.org

2. Click on Hide Apps without Jailbreak.

3. Select the application whose icon you want to hide and click on it. You will be asked if you want to install app / certificate. Agree.

4. Instead of the application icon, the following installation will appear on the desktop.

It will never end. But all you have to do is uninstall this installing application in the standard way.

5. Do this with all applications that you are tired of.

Plus / minus this decision is that when the phone is restarted, the icons will return to their place. But on the other hand, if remote program you need it - it's very easy to return it.
