You have been trying to find a way to bulk delete apps on iPhone and want to know if Accessibility Features might be the secret shortcut.
You absolutely can use Accessibility tools like AssistiveTouch and Voice Control to delete apps. These features allow you to create "shortcuts" or "gestures" that perform screen touches automatically. This means you do not have to physically touch the screen for every single app.
Here is how you would set these up for bulk delete apps on iPhone:
Method 1: Using AssistiveTouch
- Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch and turn it on.
- You can create a Custom Gesture that mimics the steps to delete an app (touching and holding an icon, then tapping "Delete App").
- Once saved, you tap the floating AssistiveTouch button, select your "Delete Gesture," and place the dot over an app icon to run the deletion.
Method 2: Using Voice Control
- Go to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control and turn it on.
- Go to Customize Commands and create a Run Custom Gesture command.
- Record yourself performing the deletion steps.
- Now, you can simply say your voice command, and the iPhone will repeat the deletion sequence on the next app you tap.
