Remove or delete apps from iPad
You can remove or delete some built-in apps from your iPad. If you change your mind, you can download the apps again later.
Note: When you remove a built-in app from your iPad, you also delete any related user data and configuration files. Removing built-in apps from your Home Screen can also affect other system functionality.
Delete apps
Do any of the following:
Remove an app from the Home Screen: Touch and hold the app on the Home Screen, tap Remove App, then tap Remove from Home Screen to keep it in App Library, or tap Delete App to delete it from iPad.
Delete an app from App Library and the Home Screen: Touch and hold the app in App Library, tap Delete App, then tap Delete. (See Find and use your apps in App Library.)
If you change your mind, you can redownload apps you delete.
In addition to deleting third-party apps, you can delete the following built-in Apple apps that came with your iPad:
Contacts (Contact information remains available through Messages, Mail, FaceTime, and other apps. To remove a contact, you must restore Contacts.)
FaceTime (If you remove the FaceTime app from your iPad, you can still make or receive FaceTime calls in Contacts and the Phone app, but you can’t use SharePlay on your iPad unless you redownload the app. See Make FaceTime calls.)
Find My (Removing this app doesn’t turn off location sharing or Find My for your device—it just removes the ability to view locations in the Find My app on that device.)
Note: In the European Union, there may be other built-in apps you can delete. For more information, see Delete built-in apps from your iPhone or iPad in the European Union.
