Apple has added two new keys labeled “isFirstParty” and “isFirstPartyHideableApp” in iTunes metadata. These two new values started showing up a few weeks ago on every app in the App Store. The iTunes metadata is where all the information about an app is stored. It shows things like the date it was released, the App Store category it’s in, its size, etc. The new keys suggest the ability to remove apps such as Stocks, Compass, and Voice Messages is coming very soon.

Now I really can't wait for iOS 10! Goodbye voice memos and other stuff I never use!

Eh. Hiding's not the same as removing. if I wanted to hide them I could just throw them in a junk folder, but that doesn't help actually free up device space - a pretty big deal when you refuse to allow expandable memory. As it is, a 32GB iPhone isn't large enough even just for my music library after formatting and OS space.

I understand your concern but for me personally I never really had to worry about storage. So this is just what I need!

Edit: Reported title change if that's what you we're talking about xD
