Delete Multiple Apps from iPhone or iPad via the Home Screen
If you have a lot of apps you want to delete at once, the method below is the quickest way to permanently remove apps from your iPhone or iPad, saving you time as you do your organizing.
* Long press any blank space on your iPhone or iPad's Home Screen. Your Home Screen will enter jiggle mode.
* Find the app you want to remove, and tap the minus icon.
* Then, tap Delete App.
* Confirm by tapping Delete. Repeat to delete even more apps.
* Tap Done at the upper-right corner of your screen when you're finished deleting apps.
How to Delete Multiple Apps on iPhone or iPad via Settings
While it's not as quick, deleting multiple apps on your iPhone or iPad in Settings allows you to see the size of individual apps.
* On your iPhone or iPad, tap Settings.
* Tap General.
* Tap iPhone / iPad Storage.
* When you've located an app you want to delete, swipe on it from right to left.
* Tap Delete App.
* Then, tap Delete App again to confirm.
Mass Delete Apps on iPhone or iPad with the Offloading Apps Feature
While you can't actually mass delete apps on your iPhone or iPad by Offloading them, it does end up keeping a large number of unused apps from clogging up your iPhone or iPad's storage. The feature Offload Unused Apps uninstalls an app you haven't used in 12 days but doesn't delete the app from your device. An offloaded app will still appear on your Home Screen and in your App Library, but it may have a small cloud by it, indicating that it will need to redownload when tapped.
* On your iPhone, open the Settings app.
* Tap App Store.
* Scroll down and toggle on Offload Unused Apps. The toggle will be green and to the right when enabled.
Now you know how to quickly delete many apps at once on your iPhone or iPad. Happy purging!
