iPad update installed a load of tat

I updated my iPad and a load of unwanted useless (to me) Apps have been installed.

Is there anyway I can uninstall please?

Thanks.

    Quite simply, no.

    The only thing you can do is create a folder and place the unwanted apps in there:

    Thank you! I wish I could downgrade back to earlier versions.

    I will create a folder, while I wait patiently for Apple to allow me to remove Apps that are of no use to me and are taking up space.n::T

    there a class action lawsuit underway in the US because Apple is forcing people to constantly update to the newest firmware and preventing users from doing rollbacks. This is quickly making older iPads redundant. As they struggle with all the bloatware. iPad 4 recently got Siri on it, which was initially not available.

    JUst noticed ipad3 is now completely useless for watching video/powerpoint etc. iPad 4 is really showing its age now as well.

    they would be fine on original software, but force installing latest software makes them slow. iOS9 was the worst the nag screen to update was beyond ridiculous.

    I guess no news from the class action suit, as my ipad is still trying to install sh*te.
