How To Tell How Many Apps Are Running On Iphone

Has someone asked you how many apps are installed on your iPhone, and you don't want to count them yourself? Or are you simply curious about how many you have installed over the period of time that you have owned your iPhone? Apple keeps track of this information, and it is displayed on a screen that contains some other useful information as well.

The guide below will show you where to navigate in your iPhone Settings menu to find the number of third-party apps that are installed on your iPhone and help to answer your question.
