Installing new apps on your iPhone is a great way to add some additional functionality to your device. But if you’ve been installing a lot of apps, you may be wondering how to find the number of apps that are installed on your iPhone.
Your iPhone comes with a number of default apps that are pre-installed on the device. These apps include things like Safari, Clock, Messages, Phone, and more. There is also an App Store app, where you are able to download more free and paid apps that provide you with access to additional services and information.
