Here's How To Uninstall Useless Stock Apps Without Jailbreaking


Recommended Posts

Here's a neat little tweak from the people of Cydia that lets you delete apps such as News Stand, Weather, Stocks, etc, from the iPhone without the need to jailbreak the phone. I tried it and it works like a charm. Enjoy.

Incorrect title, this trick merely removes the icons until a reboot, it does not remove any of the apps themselves nor give you any extra space.

If you read correctly, they fixed that issue so if you reboot, they no longer appear.

I misread. You are right. Sorry about that. The point is they are gone from the screen. I hate to see them there taking up space anyways. They are annoying and useless.

Put them in a folder.

You can't put News Stand in a folder. It won't let you. The others you can, but then again, they take space on that folder and there is only so much you can put in a folder.

You're correct, news stand you can't. But all the others you can. Put them in a folder, put that folder on the last page of apps you have. Now its not in the way, and you don't need to worry about it.

Oh you can put news stand in a folder, believe me it takes a lot of hassle/attempts to do it but you can do it (it will crash if you try to open it though).

Search on youtube, basically the trick from what I remember was to hold down on another icon and quickly move to dragging the news stand app into it instead.

I throw them all onto the last page where my works apps are. Man I wish iOS had personal/work modes.

    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
