Review and delete apps
If you’re concerned someone may have installed an app on your device without your permission, you can review a list of your apps to make sure you don’t have anything you don’t want (instructions begin in next section below).
If you’re unsure what an app’s purpose is, you can look it up in the App Store.
You can review and change the type of data each app has permission to access (like location, photos, etc.) You can do this through the Safety Check feature in iOS 16 or later.
You may also want to review Third-party app settings only available in-app that cannot be managed through Apple.
IMPORTANT: Before making changes or deleting information, consider potential impacts to your safety and privacy.
