Apple brought some key changes to its iMessage App with the latest iOS 17. The company has added a Check-in feature and Live Stickers, which are pretty awesome. It also made the app look new and clean. Apple put all the iMessage apps in a handy app drawer.
But sometimes, having too many apps can make things messy. Unlike iOS 16, you can’t just delete an iMessage app from the Messages app in iOS 17. But don’t worry, you can still delete them. Here’s how to do it on your iPhone.
