Hey there,
Find the app you wish to delete. Then double tap and hold. VO will say "Moving..." the app you wish to delete.
Then lift your finger, and double tap the screen again.
This will bring up a diolog asking if you are sure you wish to delete the app. Swipe til you find "OK" then double tap again.
The app should then be off the phone.
Hope this helps. :)
Yep that helped thanks.
For any of you helping a sighted user, the delete button which comes up in that dialog, or many others is an x rather than the word delete. This is true for a lot of these. VoiceOver reads it out as whole words, with the voice or Braille, but there are symbols that correspond to all of these. If you're never helping a sighted person with their phone no big deal, but if you are, it may help you to know what these are.
Thanks for that. I thought someone had told me something about that a long time ago, but couldn't remember for sure.
Is the same true when closing an app out of the app switcher? When in the app switcher editing apps are they all jiggling, or as my mom puts it, "Dancing?"
Often times, it is easy to forget that blind and sighted people think of and interact with the devices very differently. :)
Seems you can't remove the pre installed Apps this way, but only the ones you install. I've got one, and I admit I've been lazy researching, I want to remove that was on the phone when I got it new. I can move it, put it in a folder, but for some reason I can't get rid of it.. Suggestions?
No fix for that. There are some things iOS just won't let you delete. I moved all the crap I didn't want into a folder called unused and just moved it to the bottom of my last page of apps. If I can't get rid of them, at least they stay out of the way.
I never even thought of that. I have Skype and HayTell on my phone but never use them anymore. So I was goin to sync with ITunes to get rid of them. Now I know I don't need to do that.
