Apple iOS 10 will let you delete the Stocks and Compass apps at last

If you tidy your iPhone or iPad apps into folders, you’ve likely got one full of the native apps that you’ve never even touched.

You know the ones: Stocks, Compass, Tips, Watch – they’re sitting there taking up space.

It seems that Apple do know how much this annoys some iPhone users, as the new iOS update will finally allow you to delete the ones you never use.

It has previously been problematic to remove the apps because of the way they’re deeply integrated into some of the most important functions on the iPhone and iPad.

However, once iOS 10 arrives later this year, the native iOS apps will be available to remove and re-download as users please.

The full list includes: Podcasts, Maps, Compass, Tips, Calculator, Watch, Voice Memos, Contacts, Stocks, Weather, iCloud Drive, Calendar, Mail, Music, Reminders, Videos, FaceTime, and Notes.
