When you’re done, take a look. A clean, organized screen. No “Calculator” app you never use. No “Compass” app that just points to your anxiety.
Your iPhone 7 feels lighter. It breathes easier. You freed up a few megabytes. You can finally download that recipe app you’ll never open.
And hey, if you miss an app? Just re-download it from the App Store. No shame. We all make mistakes. We all delete and re-download the same app three times a year.
Final Pro Tip: The “Hold and Drag”
Don’t want to delete? Just want to move? While things are jiggly, you can long press and drag an app to the bottom of the screen. It will fly into the dock. Zoom.
Or drag it onto another app to make a folder. A digital prison inside a digital prison. Inception. Name it “Apps I Ignore.”
The iPhone 7 is a relic of a simpler time. No face scanning. No notch. Just a button and a jiggle. Removing apps is a tiny victory. Enjoy it. Now go clean up that screen. Your future self will thank you.
