How to completely delete and app from iphone (including all the data and history)
So this problem particularly emerged with the Tinder app. I was using Tinder with a user account (A) and one day I logged out and created a new user account (B) which I never succeeded to activate due to sms verification problems, so I decided to login again with my old account. But even when I delete the Tinder app and reinstall it again, it still shows the B account logged in to the app. This means that IOS is somewhere storing a history for this app. Now I'm looking for a way to delete this history.
Note that this question is not necessarily about a certain app, but rather about where IOS stores historical data of apps and how to delete those histories alongside with the app.
P.S: If there are solutions like changing UUID of my i-phone that wouldn't damage my phone (I'm new to iphone so I'm not sure what I'm saying. For instance this jailbreaking thing which I keep hearing about and I'm not sure what it exactly does to my phone, doesn't sound like an I idea that I like), I'm open to them.
Solution 1:
Try deleting the app from within Settings and see if that makes any difference?
More specifically:
- Go to Settings
- Tap on General
- Tap on Storage & iCloud Usage
- Under the Storage heading, tap on Manage Storage
- Wait for your list of apps to populate
- Select Tinder
- Tap on the red Delete App option
- At the next prompt, tap OK
- Exit Settings
- Reboot your iPhone (press the Power and Home buttons for about 10 secs)
Now reinstall the Tinder app and see whether this process has made any difference.
