It began with Stocks and then Apple added more default apps such as Health, Tips, Watch, Maps, iBooks and lots more. Over a period of time, there came 32 apps in your iPhone that users feel no need to keep in their phones as they eat up precious space and offer so little functionality. While some of these apps such as App store, Settings and Phone may be handy, the others like Find Friends or Stocks are just of no good to many users. For many years, people have been asking for ways to remove these default apps and free up the space in your iPhone.

Looks like Apple has finally paid heed to the collective call of the users and may have introduced a way to remove the default apps through their latest iOS update. Even though this feature is only available to the Apple Developers, after paying a hefty fee of £79, it does require you to have technical expertise and knowledge of the phone's full reset, reported The Telegraph.

The users who are looking to do this the easy way, there is a method that can allow you to remove these extra apps without downloading any special software in your phone. However, the apps will return as you turn your off and on again. According to a Reddit user bfodder, the iPhone users who have the beta of iOS 9.3, they can use the Apple's configurator program, the one that lets the schools and businesses manage the Apple devices, can allow the users to remove Stock apps.

While there are ways to temporarily hide the default apps at any version of iOS 9, with 9.3 you will be able to permanently hide these apps from your phone, says BGR
