We all have experienced some problems with our smart devices especially in the case where we want to delete some apps that we don’t need. Some of these devices are the iPad, iPhone, and other iDevices. In some cases, people have reported having their devices freeze for sometimes when they press the X icon to delete the app and come with the question like how do I remove an app from my iPad?
How to remove apps from iPad?
Traditionally one is supposed to open on the phone’s app screen, press for a while on the app you want to eliminate until the X mark appears at the corner of the screen. Then drag the app that you want to delete to the X mark and hence delete it. If you are not able to successfully removing an app from iPad using this process, know that you are not doing it the right way.
Therefore follow the below Methods to delete the App Efficiently.
Change the Way you Tap
The way that you press on the screen of these devices affects its functioning. Hence if you push too much or employ a lot of pressure when touching the screen, it could easily interfere with its functionality. So, apply light force when pressing the screen and drag it slowly as well until you get the X delete icon on the screen. What makes the screen not to work when you use too much pressure is the fact that the pressure causes the 3 D effect on these devices of opening the menus and action.
- Use your setting to delete the apps. This is another reliable way that you can use to delete these apps.
- Go to the device’s setting then select general, followed by storage and then manage the storage of the invention.
- Then you will be taken to a page with all the apps on the phone.
- Tap on the one that you want to delete and click on the delete option.
- Then you will receive a message which requests you to verify if you want to remove the app from the device.
- Click yes, and it will automatically disappear.
Offload an App
This is a standard method for getting rid of the unwanted app on the screen of the phone especially the iOs 11. Note that this method is different from others since the deleted app is not lost. Its data and documents are kept such that if you want to reinstall it again, you can quickly achieve it. Also, some Apple devices do not have deletable apps. Meaning the apps that are installed are permanent. Some of the apps that one can comfortably delete from their devices include; calculator, calendar, compass, face time, home iBooks, iCloud Drive, iTune store, mail, Maps, Music News and also Notes.
The Apps that are not Deletable Include Safari, messengers, photos, settings and also the Health.
Familiar game downloading problems and how to resolve them.
The other area that you may experience some issues is when downloading games on the device. For example, when in the process of downloading the games a message pops up saying memory full which is also common in other devices, know that the game is not entirely downloaded and you need to free space for the remaining part to be installed on the machine. So, you can create space for your game download by deleting the unwanted data like music, movies messages and other deletable data. Since the download notifies you the amount of space that you have to create for it to complete, once you are done go back to the apple store and retrieve the downloading process and click on a resume.
Check if you have Restricted Deleting of Apps on the Device.
Another thing that causes the apps not to be deleted is in the case where you have set the restriction mode. To see if this is the cause, go to settings select general, then restriction, and off if the limits are on.
Note that you will have to enter your settings before you can turn the restrictions off.
If you are not able to remember your restriction settings and password, you can achieve this with the use of other devices such as the Mac or windows. Open the iTunes on the iDevice, go to apps and delete the ones you want out.
Your iDevice is not responding.
In the case where the iDevice is unresponsive, you can quickly revive it by either restarting or rebooting it. Then once you turn on the device, back up by syncing the apps that were unable to be deleted.
