How to Rearrange and Delete Apps in iOS 13

If you're using an Apple device running iOS 13 or later, you'll be pleased to know that rearranging and deleting apps has never been easier. Long gone are the days of pressing and holding with 3D Touch; now, it's all about haptic feedback and intuitive gestures. Let's dive into the steps for both rearranging and deleting apps in iOS 13.

Rearranging Apps in iOS 13

Rearranging apps on your iPhone or iPad has become streamlined with iOS 13's implementation of haptic feedback. Here’s how you can easily rearrange your apps:

On the home screen, find the app you wish to move. Quickly press on the app's icon to engage haptic feedback. A wiggle animation will appear across all the app icons on the screen. While the apps are wiggling, simply drag the app to the desired location. You don't need to press and hold for long; a quick press is sufficient.

Deleting Apps in iOS 13

Deleting apps in iOS 13 is as simple and intuitive as rearranging them. There are two main ways to delete apps on your iOS 13 device: from the home screen and from the App Store.

Deleting Apps from the Home Screen

Find the app you wish to delete on the home screen. Quickly press on the app's icon to engage haptic feedback and make all app icons wiggle. Once the app icons are wiggling, locate the ‘X’ button in the corner of the app icon you want to delete. Click the ‘X’ button to initiate the deletion process. Confirm your action by tapping the ‘X’ button again. Tap the ‘Done’ button in the corner of the screen or use the home gesture to stop the app icons from wiggling.

Deleting Apps from the App Store

In iOS 13, Apple has introduced an even more convenient way to delete apps from your device right from the App Store. Here's how you can do it:

Open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad. Tap on the profile picture at the top-right corner of the screen to view your account information. Scroll down to the 'Updated Recently' section. Swipe left on the app you wish to delete within this section. Tap the 'Delete' button that appears at the top of the app's card.

Faster Deletion with Haptic Touch

One of the key updates in iOS 13 is the use of haptic feedback instead of 3D Touch. This makes the process of deleting apps faster and more intuitive. Instead of holding the app icon for an extended period, you can simply use a quick press to delete an app. This new method, referred to as Haptic Touch, provides a more responsive and tactile experience for users.

Conclusion

Deleting and rearranging apps in iOS 13 has been made incredibly user-friendly thanks to the implementation of haptic feedback and intuitive gestures. Whether you're moving apps around on your home screen or removing them from the App Store, the process is now more streamlined and efficient than ever before.
