Cybersecurity News & To Dos.

06/21/2023

This cybersecurity “To Do” goes out to everyday, accidental procrastinators. Like me, you’re perfectly capable of managing your iPhone settings, but something always comes up to prevent you from finishing routine tasks – like getting TikTok completely off your device for the past 6 months. 

Applications like this (even if they sit on personal devices), enable threat actors to infiltrate your corporate network, so the time to act is now.  

I am grateful for the explanation provided in this short YouTube video: How to Remove App from App Library and permanently removed TikTok halfway through the demo. 

Why does this matter? You can easily remove an app from your home screen but removing it from your app library is another story. To completely remove an unwanted iPhone app: 

  • Go to Settings.
  • Scroll down and press Screen Time. 
  • Scroll down and press Content & Privacy Restrictions. 
  • Click on iTunes & App Store Purchases. 
  • Enable (Allow) Deleting Apps. 
  • Then go to your home screen, click on the app you wish to remove, and it’s gone for good.
