Here’s the fun part. Your iPhone 7 came with apps you never use. Like Tips. Because you clearly need advice on how to use a phone you already own. Or Stocks. For pretending you care about Wall Street.
You can delete these too. Even the Apple ones. Calendar? Gone. Reminders? Bye-bye. Apple finally realized we don’t want their bloatware. It’s a miracle from heaven.
But there’s a catch. You can’t delete Phone, Messages, or Safari. Those are the holy trinity. You’re stuck with them. Unless you’re a hacker. Are you a hacker? I didn’t think so.
The Great Escape from the Home Screen
Maybe you don’t want to delete. Maybe you just want to hide the app. That’s a different kind of fun. You’re not killing it; you’re just banishing it to the App Library.
On an iPhone 7, this is a bit tricky. You don’t have the fancy App Library swiping. You have to make a folder. Drag that embarrassing Game of Thrones trivia app into a folder with seven other apps. Call it “Do Not Open.”
It’s like locking a bad memory in a dusty drawer. But it’s still there. Judging you. The wiggle method is better. Embrace the X.
