What are Apps?
Apps can be considered personal software that runs on the iPhone or iPad. The most common example is an app such as Facebook, WhatsApp, or Snapchat. These apps can provide their features, which allows them to have multiple features available all in one place. One example of this is Snapchat. In the app, you can send pictures and videos to your friends or save them to your camera roll.
Out of the thousands of apps available through the App Store, the majority of them are free. You can also pay for some apps. When you delete an app, you are deleting all data that it contains, as well as its software in general.
This means that good data, such as pictures, videos, and user information, is lost. Most apps from the App Store also have a process in place to retrieve your data should you need it.
