Yeah, mobile really sucks for this compared to the 90s and 00s desktop experience. It really feels like a step backwards; at least you could delete things from the StartUp folder on Windows 98.

You can delete things real easy on iPhones.

Except Keychain credentials. I still don’t know how to make my iPhone forget how to log into Discord after deleting the app. (It logs back in after reinstallation.)

This is readily exposed to the user, and has been for a long time.

Settings --> Passwords, then just delete the entry for Discord.

Or have I misinterpreted your issue?

It might be that Discord is remembering user information in iCloud in a way that persists following reinstall, similar to how some games save progress. Clearing the password entry would thus be insufficient.

I have iCloud disabled, so that’s not it.

This is because each app has their own private keychain (separate from the saved passwords) which is not cleared when the app is deleted. Apple tried to change the behavior and have it wiped on delete, but many developers complained. This allows apps to track you across installs of the app.

That's...actually terrible. A bit of a search around seems to say that the only way to actually wipe it properly is the do a full device reset, which is obviously completely unacceptable.

Yeesh :/
