Tutorial - How to install / delete apps for different operating systems. 


Apps are ubiquitous - what used to be available only on mobile devices can now be found on desktop computers and on laptops. The programs not only facilitate the use of the computer, but also help the user to solve tasks efficiently and safely. The processes of installation and uninstallation differ slightly between operating systems available on the market. This article explains how to install and uninstall app on iOS, macOS, Android, Windows Phone and Windows 10.

iOS


Installing apps in iOS

Installing apps is basically possible on iOS via the App Store. The App Store contains both free and paid apps that can be installed on the iPad, iPod or iPhone. The prerequisite for use is an Apple ID, which can also be created for free (this ID is also necessary for free apps).
1. In the AppStore, the user selects the appropriate app via the search or categories. To the right of the app's icon is a "load" button that is pressed.
2. In the next step, the user must log in with the Apple ID. If the ID has already been used for an app, only the password has to be entered - alternatively, Touch ID or Face ID can be used for new devices.
3. After entering the password or after authentication, the app is finally loaded and installed automatically. Entering the password is also necessary for free apps.
4. the app is loaded in the next free space on the home screen and can be opened there - alternatively, the "load" button becomes the "open app" button, so that the app can be opened directly from the AppStore.

Uninstalling apps in iOS


Deleting apps and programs in iOS is very simple and can be done directly from the home screen.
1.In the first step, the user searches for the app that needs to be deleted and long presses on the app icon with a finger.

3. Here, "Delete app" is selected. Some apps store user data (e.g. game saves) - therefore, iOS may ask the user if the app data should also be removed for some apps. This way, if the app is reinstalled in the future, stored information can be easily reused.
