Some apps are immune to jiggling. Apple’s core apps, like Phone, Messages, and Safari, have a secret force field. They’re like ninjas.
Don’t fight it. You can hide them in a folder, but you can’t delete them. Consider them your phone’s non-negotiable roommates. Live with them.
But everything else is fair game. That game you downloaded for a five-minute train ride? It’s time to say goodbye. Be ruthless. You’ll thank yourself later.
The Aftermath: A Clean Phone
After the purge, admire your work. Your home screen looks like a perfect little garden. No weeds. No dead apps.
Swipe left and right. It’s smooth. It’s fast. You can actually see your wallpaper for once. It’s like your phone has a new haircut.
Now you have space. Space for new apps. Or just space for nothing. Sometimes nothing is the best app of all.
Go ahead. Treat yourself. Delete one more. The “Compass” app? You have maps. Click. Poof. You’re a pro now.
