New easy way Re-arranging and Deleting apps on iOS (with iOS 13.2 or up)

iOS 12 disable delete apps jilaxzone.com before

iOS Jiggle Mode - When activated, you can delete any apps or games just by tapping on 'X' on the app icon

No more struggling and annoyance between different touch pressures…

With Apple releasing iPhone 11, 11 Pro ane 11 Pro Max, Apple officially killed 3D Touch and bring in Haptic Touch (a tech first seen on original Apple Watch) as a replacement. They have similar function seeing from end-user perspective, though 3D Touch is technically a lot more complicated.

Issue that many of us as iPhone users are having since the introduction of 3D Touch back on iPhone 6S, and now Haptic Touch since iPhone XR is that deleting and/or re-arranging apps and games on iPhone is getting a lot more complicated and could be a daunting task for many.

Even for me, who I can say is techie-enough – sometimes find myself struggling and scratching my own head because it’s rather difficult and annoying to re-arrange or to delete apps on iPhone with 3D Touch or Haptic Touch. You need to apply correct pressure to the screen to activate the jiggle mode (where the icon is shaking left and right). And that is me whom I self-proclaimed to be techie enough. I do wondering what about those who aren’t techie enough, how all this time they are struggling when it comes to re-arranging or deleting apps from their iPhone.

But luckily now all these annoyances shall be gone when you update your iPhone to iOS 13.2 (or any later version). Apple has introduced a minor but helpful and very useful update to iOS 13.2 where now you have the option to delete and re-arrange apps easily.

Here’s how to delete app on iOS 13.2 or up easily
