4 Apps You Don’t Really Need On Your iPhone In 2024, According To Experts

TikTok

TikTok has been the subject of numerous privacy issues, not to mention it’s yet another significant battery drainer. Like Facebook, this is an app that you can access via your web browser if you don’t want to miss out on content. Deleting the app itself can save you so much battery power and help boost your storage space, as well. 

Facebook Messenger

Facebook Messenger is another app that drains a lot of your battery power and consumes your phone’s data. Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of great alternatives to Messenger and deleting it means having to message your Facebook friends via your web browser. 

Weather Apps

Weather apps need your location to do their job. But when you give up your location, you also give many of these free apps an opportunity to sell your location and data to third-party advertisers. Many of these apps will sell your data about where you work, where you go in your spare time, and even info like the address of your doctor. Some weather apps give you the option of limiting how much data they get to access, but check their permissions before deciding whether you should download them. 

These four apps are among the most concerning when it comes to battery power and privacy. Delete them to ensure your phone is up to the many tasks you want it to accomplish each day.
