Sum up

As you can see, it’s so simple and easy to delete apps on the iPhone, no matter what version of iOS you have, right?

But it’s worth noting that deleting an app will remove all its associated data, too. So, be careful when you decide to get rid of it. And if you accidentally delete an app, you will have to download it again from the App Store. There is no "undo" option for app deletion.
