Grab your iPhone 7 and find the app you want to evict. Press and hold its icon—not too hard, just a gentle long press. Do you feel that little buzz? That’s your phone saying, “Okay, I’m listening.”
After about a second, all your icons will start wiggling. Yes, wiggling. It’s like they’re dancing to their own beat. A tiny “X” or a minus sign will appear on the top-left corner of the app you’re targeting.
This is the magic moment. Are you ready to let go? Tap that “X.” A confirmation menu pops up, asking if you’re sure. Hit “Delete”, and poof—it’s gone.
What About Apps That Won’t Wiggle?
Some apps, like the built-in Phone or Messages, don’t dance. Bummer, right? These are core apps that Apple thinks you can’t live without. You can hide them in a folder if they bother you, but deletion is off the table.
For third-party apps, though, you’re the boss. You choose what stays. It’s your phone, after all.
