Deleting Applications

You can delete applications you’ve installed from the App Store. If you delete an application, data associated with the application will no longer be available to iPhone, unless you reinstall the application and restore its data from a backup.

You can reinstall an application and restore its data as long as you backed up iPhone with iTunes on your computer. (If you try to delete an application that hasn’t been backed up to your computer, an alert appears.) To retrieve the application data, you must restore iPhone from a backup containing the data. See “Restoring from a Backup” on page 203.

Delete an App Store application:

1Touch and hold any application icon on the Home screen until the icons start to wiggle.

2Tap in the corner of the application you want to delete.

3Tap Delete, then press the Home button to save your arrangement.

When you delete an application, its data is no longer accessible via the iPhone user interface, but it isn’t erased from your iPhone. For information about erasing all content and settings, see “Erase All Content and Settings” in iPhone settings.

See “Resetting iPhone” on page 149.

You can write and submit your own application reviews directly on iPhone.

Write a review:

1Tap Ratings near the bottom of the Info screen.

2On the Reviews screen, tap “Write a Review.”

3Select the number of stars (1–5) for your rating of the application, and enter your nickname, a title for the review, and optional review comments. If you’ve written reviews before, the nickname field is already filled in. Otherwise, you’re asked to create a reviewer nickname.

4Tap Send.

You must be signed in to your iTunes Store account and have purchased or downloaded the item in order to submit reviews.
