Why can't I delete apps on iPhone

I reset my old iPhone6 about 3 months ago and hadn’t used it until this week. I had to re-install my favorite Apps, but I discovered that one of the Apps is one I no longer want. When I tried to delete the App, I can’t get the X to appear. All my apps wiggle, but no X. How can I get my iPhone6 to delete my Apps.

Check if you have restrictions set for deleting apps.

Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes and App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps (select Allow)

You need to enabled Content & Privacy Restrictions to make changes.

Delete a built-in app from your device

  1. On your iOS device, touch and hold the app lightly until it jiggles. If the app doesn't jiggle, make sure that you're not pressing too hard.
  2. Tap on the app, then tap Delete. 
  3. Press the Home button to finish.

If you have an Apple Watch, deleting an app from your iPhone also deletes that app from your Apple Watch.
