There are a lot of tricks available for iOS 9 users to hide the system apps, but these methods aren’t quite as good as iOS 10’s way. It allows you remove unwanted preinstalled iOS apps such as Calculator, Calendar, Compass, Contacts, FaceTime, Find My Friends, Home, iBooks, iCloud Drive, iTunes Store, Mail, Maps, Music, News, Notes, Podcasts, Reminders, Stocks, Tips, Videos, Voice Memos, Watch app, Weather, etc.
iOS 10 allows you to delete almost all built-in system apps, but not all apps. You can’t remove apps like Camera, Photos, Clock, Messages, Safari, Photo Booth, etc. After deleting an app, if you need it in future then you can download it from the App Store. This is the most relevant way to free up some space and increase storage on iPhone or iPad for another usage.
