The Messages app on the iPhone or iMessage has a lot of great features. You can pay someone with Apple Pay, send Memojis, and install third-party apps. In fact, there are amazing stickers, fun games, and helpful apps that offer a great overall experience. However, these apps don’t show up like regular apps on the iPhone which makes deleting them a little tricky. Fret no, here’s a quick way to delete iMessage apps on iPhone. Let’s see how.

Delete iMessage apps

The iMessage apps live inside the iPhone but you can only access them through the Messages app. To delete an iMessage app, launch the Messages app on your iPhone and open a chat.

You would see the App bar at the bottom of the screen. Scroll to the right of the bar until you see the More button. Tap on it.
