Revision as of 18:55, 19 June 2014

Summary

This is where all of the pre-installed native apps, as well as native jailbreak apps (from Cydia and elsewhere), are installed. They can't be deleted under normal circumstances. One can delete them on a jailbroken device through some sort of file-management tool such as SSH or iFile, although doing this is highly unrecommended as they can't be re-installed.

New user apps are installed via iTunes or the App Store in the /private/var/mobile/Applications folder.
