Deleting Apps On Android Which Are Hidden:
At the moment, a problem is encountered among iPhone users, especially among young people, indeed, deleting an application. But those ones are not present on your home screen. Because as you can imagine having all our applications on the home screen can be very cumbersome. But we are lucky when we delete an application from the home screen, the latter does not delete permanently it remains in the device as a hidden application.
In this article, we will see how we can remove an application that is hidden or does not present on our home screen.
First of all, we will see why we cannot see an application on the home screen and how we can find it. After that, we will study the different methods we can have to solve this problem of hidden applications.
Why This Problem?
We must know that this problem is different for each person, and yes, there are multiple reasons why you can’t see an application on the home screen.
The First Reason:
It is the most common fact is that Apple has introduced the famous “Application Library” that allows us to hide applications that are present in front of everyone who uses our phone, yes! we are talking about the home screen. When we delete an application, we simply do the following:
- hold down the icon of the desired application
- and then delete the application,
- then it disappears from the home screen
We think that it is permanently deleted, but no, it has just been transferred to the application library, and it will only be visible there.
The Second Reason:
It is a problem with the settings. Indeed, it may be that you have selected “Settings” and then in “Home Screen” the tab “Application Library only”. And if you have done this, all the new applications you are going to download from the App Store will be moved directly to this library and not to the home screen. That’s why it will not be present on the home screen.
The last reason is for systems like IOS 14 or more. In this case, when we hide the pages of our home screen, it automatically hides all the applications on that page.
Thanks to this, we have understood why the applications are hidden, and now we will see how to find these hidden applications.
How To Find These Hidden Applications:
As we have seen before, we use the “Application Library” tab to find these hidden applications. To do this, we will move our screen to the left of our home screen. We have to repeat this several times until we reach the final screen, which is the application library. Then we start writing the name of the application we are looking for, it should appear under the search bar. All we have to do is open this application and find it.
Let’s move on to the removal of hidden applications because we can have several methods either via the settings of the iPhone, via the application library, via the App Store, or even via iTunes.
iPhone Settings:
Let’s start with the iPhone settings method. If the application we want to delete is not present on the home screen, we can still delete it via the settings of our iPhones. To do this, we must go to the tab “Settings” and then “General” and then we must go to the part “iPhone Storage”, we will have a list of applications in front of us, we just have to look for the one we want to delete, we select it then we will have at the bottom of the page “Delete Application”.
Once we get there, we press “Delete Application” to validate our choice. And that’s it, this is via the settings of our iPhone. The application becomes deleted permanently from the device,
You may think that this method is very similar to the one we used to delete applications by holding down the application icon and then clicking on the cross! But no, because via the settings method, you delete the application. Not only that, but you also delete all the data associated with this application, unlike the cross method. Via the settings method, you can free up storage space on your device.
Application Library:
As we mentioned earlier, the app library can be a pretty simple and easy way to find an app. It is for those apps that you’re looking for but can’t find on the home screen. Once you find the app, you just need to delete it from the library so that it is permanently removed. But how to do all this?
It is not complicated, in fact, first scan the home screen to the left and go to the application library. Then, we must enter the name of the desired application, the latter will appear just below the search bar. Now we need to hold the application and in the tab that will open, there will be at the bottom, “Delete Application”. We select that and confirm our choice. This way we have deleted the application from our iPhones forever.
App Store:
And yes, it doesn’t look like it, but we can delete applications via this download application. But via this method, we can only delete applications that have a pending update or that have been updated recently. For the method of deleting via the App Store, we must first open the App Store and then click on our Profile Photo. We can also hold the App Store and then select “Updates”.
After that, we have to scan down and see if our application is present. If it is not, it means there is an update problem, so open the updates screen and update it. You have nearly done. If you can see your application under “Available updates” or “Recently updated”, swipe left while staying clicked on its name. And you will see a “Delete” tab. All you have to do is click on “Delete”.
iTunes:
Everyone thinks that iTunes is just an application that allows you to play music, but no, it can also allow deleting applications. But you should know that the method we share with you is only possible on older versions of iTunes (12.6.2 and earlier) and on older versions of IOS, such as IOS 14 and earlier.
To delete applications via iTunes, you will first have to go to iTunes and log in. Then you will have to click on the iPhone/Ipad icon in the top bar and choose “Applications” in the “Settings” section on the left side. Afterward, if you can’t find the desired application, you can sort the applications by their types, names, and categories. Next to each application, you will find the “Delete” button. Thus, you will have deleted your application via iTunes.
Conclusion:
Through the different methods we have just seen, you can delete any application you want to. So you can free up storage space. If you have an application that is important to you and doesn’t want to delete it but needs storage space, you can “Unload the application” to free up storage space without deleting the App.
This article is a complete description of how you can easily find hidden apps on your iPhone and can even delete them. If you are an iPhone user and facing this issue, then this article will be quite helpful for you.
