Omg lol, so it's a waste of time being able to delete stock apps then...

Yes and no. It's a waste if you're wanting it to be a default app workaround but not if you have absolutely no use for the Home, Podcast, Watch, Calculator, iTunes Store, Notes, Videos app etc.

 

[bushido]

Weird. Guess they're just small enough for me to not notice it?

the apple website states all combined they r just around 100 something mb

I think this may be a feature in 10.2/10.2

If you don't have that app installed it will ask you to install something like that app

That reminds me that from now on, iOS and macOS can have the same version number (though OS X 10.1 through 10.4 are mainly of academic interest now).

Why didn't Apple talk about this? Why did they spend so much time on useless emoji?

Probably because "And now, in the new iOS 10, you can remove all of those useless native Apple apps that you never open, and just take up space!" wouldn't go over too well with the Board. Glad to see this is a feature, though.

Yeah you're right, but still... For those apps that are commonly linked to throughout the OS Apple should allow the user to reassign an alternative app to act as default, it's not hard, jailbreak tweaks were able to accomplish this years ago!

Are deleted stock apps removed from share sheets also? For example if you delete Notes App is it also removed from the Safari share sheet etc?

oh i want this so badly. is ios10 coming to the ip5?

can anyone share information on how much soace could be saved from deleting each of the mentioned apps?

 

[manu chao]

This is sweet. Now I won't have that stupid folder on my second home screen!

Given that I currently have 44 folders, one more hardly makes a difference.

 

[Stella]

Id be deleting the Stocks app! Nice to see Apple implementing features the user wants.

Wow.

What was the point of deleting them, again?

yes and not much. total are less than 150 mb according to Apple.

FYI release notes show that deleting FaceTime app from iPad or iPod Touch cannot be undone ATM

I am waiting for people to want to delete the phone app.

 

[LoffredoJoseph]

finally! these are the ones from the main home screen that you may delete
[doublepost=1465849795][/doublepost]these are the ones you may delete from the second page

It does remove them. I tried to share something and Notes was gone.

Wow.

Because people complained about them being there. Honestly, it's 1,000,000x better than shoving them in a folder.

 

[2457248]

yes and not much. total are less than 150 mb according to Apple.

meh, i save more by deleting few minutes worth of videos, so it's more for the aesthethic fuss of not having useless icons on the front page!
well, thanks anyway!

New app Back Arrow button and new Control Center

Does the Night Shift button is dynamic in any way if turned on?

If not, that's a giant button for what Night Shift does.

 

[baller1308]

If you delete the Mail app what becomes the default?

 

[vertsix]

Finally!

 

[J. J.]

Can someone post the full list of removable apps? Thanks!

Nope it's just a big toggle button

Because a lot more people care about emoji than care about being able to delete apps.

 

[Plutonius]

omg FINALLY

Don't you invest in the stock market ?

 

[John Mcgregor]

Finally the whining will stop. For a second.
