With the launch of the Apple Vision Pro, users are eager to explore its features. However, as with any device, there comes a time when apps need to be removed. Here’s a guide on how to delete apps from the Apple Vision Pro.
The Apple Vision Pro, a first-generation mixed-reality headset, was released on Friday. And, while the device has been termed as “Apple’s craziest, most radical, possibly dystopian products of all time,” it is not immune to certain things that customers face with almost every product — the craving to declutter their device and remove unwanted apps.
Users can remove apps for various reasons, such as not finding the app useful, lack of storage space, or for organizational purposes. The process of app deletion in Vision Pro is similar to that of an iPhone or iPad, with a new and different control scheme within visionOS, reported AppleInsider.
Here’s how to delete apps on an Apple Vision Pro:
Step I: Go to the Home View of the Apple Vision Pro by pressing the Digital Crown.
Step II: Look at the app you want to remove, then perform a pinch and hold gesture.
Step III: Tap Remove App.
Step IV: Now, to confirm, just tap Delete.
By default, users can delete any third-party app installed from the App Store. However, most of the apps built into visionOS cannot be deleted, except for Keynote and Encounter Dinosaurs.
Moreover, deleted apps can be reinstalled via the App Store.
The Apple Vision Pro has been a topic of interest since its announcement. Despite concerns about its high price point, the device has been well-received. Pre-orders for the Vision Pro were reported to be more than double what was expected, with sales numbers estimated to be around 180,000 units over the launch weekend. This indicates a strong demand for the device.
In conclusion, removing apps from the Apple Vision Pro is a straightforward process that is similar to deleting apps on an iPhone or iPad. Users can easily free up storage space and declutter their device by following the simple steps outlined above. With the high demand for the Apple Vision Pro, it is expected that more users will be looking to customize their device by removing unwanted apps.
