List of built-in iOS apps

<a href="/facts/Apple_Inc./oTJYta3k">Apple Inc.</a> develops many apps for <a href="/facts/IOS/mK5cggH5">iOS</a> that come bundled by default or installed through system updates. Several of the default apps found on iOS have counterparts on <a href="/facts/List_of_Apple_operating_systems/mrqrldMc">Apple's other operating systems</a> such as <a href="/facts/MacOS/Y93vVpTm">macOS</a>, <a href="/facts/IPadOS/fClrmH7D">iPadOS</a>, <a href="/facts/WatchOS/zH1fkn2R">watchOS</a>, and <a href="/facts/TvOS/jDMqvvfI">tvOS</a>, which are often modified versions of or similar to the iOS application. As each app is integrated into the operating system itself, they often feature greater support for system features than third-party alternatives and are quick to adapt new features of iOS.
Apple has also included versions of <a href="/facts/IWork/n37Q7Wqm">iWork</a>, <a href="/facts/IMovie/nXmcvVwf">iMovie</a>, and <a href="/facts/GarageBand/HpjRQS2w">GarageBand</a> for free with new device activations since the release of <a href="/facts/IOS_7/LP8uLlwP">iOS 7</a>; however, these apps are maintained independently from the operating system, with updates instead released through the App Store. Since <a href="/facts/IOS_10/0bLu9tyC">iOS 10</a>, most pre-installed apps have been removable. With <a href="/facts/IOS_14/byEDcEJ3">iOS 14</a> or later, as well as <a href="/facts/IPadOS_15/B1SSDT6N">iPadOS 15</a> or later, users can hide pre-installed apps in the newly introduced App Library, as well as change their default <a href="/facts/Web_browser/2pfyymLs">web browser</a> and <a href="/facts/Email_client/pQdW9HtC">email client</a> to a third-party alternative. And with iOS 18.2 or later, Apple expanded the default apps that users can change to include apps such as messaging apps, password managers, and more. 
Applications are listed below based on Apple's <a href="/facts/App_Store_(Apple)/0yqcGqey">App Store</a> developer page.
