How to delete journal app from iPhone?

When you find an app on your iPhone that you no longer want, such as the Journal app that was automatically downloaded after upgrading to iOS 17.2, it's relatively simple to remove it. Even though these native iOS apps, like the Journal app, might not be something you asked for, you have the option to delete them if you prefer not to have them on your home screen.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to delete the Journal app from your iPhone:

1. Tap and hold on the Journal app icon on your home screen until it starts to jiggle.
2. Tap on the "Delete" option that appears for the Journal app.
3. If you'd like to keep the app but remove it from your home screen, simply tap on "Remove from Home Screen." This action will transfer the app to your app library, making it available for search but removing it from the home screen display.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to keep the Journal app on your device or not is entirely up to you. If you find it unnecessary or don't foresee using it, removing it from your home screen can help declutter your device and streamline your user experience.

Remember, these steps can be applied to other native iOS apps that you might want to remove as well, such as the News app. Taking control of the apps on your iPhone ensures that your device is tailored to your preferences and usage habits.
