Quick answer
To delete an App Clip on iPhone, open Settings → App Clips, tap the clip you do not need, then tap Remove App Clip. You can also long-press the clip in the App Library and choose Delete App Clip. The same steps work on iOS 18 through iOS 27.
Why remove App Clips?
App Clips let you use a small part of an app without a full install. Over time they pile up and take storage. Clearing ones you no longer need keeps the phone tidy.

- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap App Clips.
- Tap the App Clip you want to remove.
- Tap Remove App Clip and confirm.
Delete from the App Library
- Swipe left past your last Home Screen to open the App Library.
- Find the clip under Recently Added or App Clips.
- Touch and hold the icon until the menu appears.
- Tap Delete App Clip and confirm.
Tips for managing App Clips
- Review the App Clips list every few months and remove unused ones.
- In Settings → App Clips, turn on automatic removal of unused clips.
- If you use a clip often, install the full app from the App Store instead.
