With iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, a few more system apps can be uninstalled by iPhone and iPad users.

Over the years, the list of system apps that can be uninstalled on iOS and iPadOS has risen and with iOS and iPadOS 16, users can also remove the Find My, Health, and Clock apps from their iPhones and iPads. Keep in mind that uninstalling these apps will also remove some functionality from iPhone and iPad models., removing the Find My app will not erase built-in features like Find My Friends.

Reinstalling any iOS or iPad system apps you remove is not a big deal since you can find them in the App Store and install them just as you would any app. After this news, only a few system apps remain that users cannot uninstall such as Phone, Safari, Messages, and the App Store. Besides re-installing a system app from the App Store, you could always replace a system app with a third-party one.

For example, let's say that you uninstall the iOS system Clock app. You can always replace it by adding a third-party clock app from the App Store. Since there is always the possibility that removing a system app will greatly mess with the functioning of your iPhone or iPad, make sure that you definitely want to remove the system apps you uninstall. And keep in mind that removing a system app will not add much additional storage to your device so don't make such a move simply because you're running low on native storage.

Apple says,"The apps built into iOS are designed to be very space efficient, so all of them together use less than 200MB. Removing built-in iOS apps doesn't free up storage space on your device." However, it is important to remember that"When you remove a built-in app from your Home screen, you also remove any related user data and configuration files.
