Don’t forget that your iPhone may not be the only place where an app exists, or at least a trace of it. As Edge explains, “iCloud settings on a device can show purchase history that you can use to check your subscriptions and access certain Family Sharing options.” For these reasons, an Apple user may want to delete apps from their iCloud as well (especially if you notice these red flags that you shouldn’t trust an app).
To turn off app backups and delete the backup data from iCloud, go to Settings. Tap your name at the top, then go to iCloud. Scroll down to Manage Storage. After that, click on Backup and the device you are currently using. You’ll see a list of your apps. If you want to delete one, just move the button to the left. If you’re deleting an old messaging app but want a new (and more secure) one, check out which secure messaging app you can download on your iPhone.
- You want to reset the app to factory defaults because it’s problematic.
- Do you think that the app is causing problems in other parts of the device due to malfunctions that occurred after installation.
- You want to delete some of the data within an app. (For example, apps that track your credit card information.)
- You no longer use the app and want to free up resources such as memory and loading time. After all, the more apps you have running in the background, the slower your device will run.
What happens after I deactivate my account?
Once the deactivation of your account has been confirmed, your Twitter profile and any associated information will no longer be accessible via the platform. However, it will take up to 30 days for Twitter to initiate the process of deleting your account. Complete account deletion can take up to another week.
Within the 30 day period, you can reactivate your account at any time by simply logging in and confirming the reactivation. This is good news for anyone who deactivated their account by mistake or changed their mind a few days or weeks after closing their account.
If you deactivate your account:
- You can reactivate it whenever you want. This means you can access your photos, videos, friends and groups again.
- People can’t see your history or find your account in a search unless you reactivate your account.
- Some things may remain visible (for example: private messages that you have sent).
- You can reactivate your account at any time by logging back into Facebook or using your Facebook account to log in somewhere else. You will need to have access to the email or mobile number you use to log in to complete the reactivation.
