My IPad doesn’t let me delete apps, what do I do?

Why can’t I delete apps on my iPad? Whenever I hold on the app icon it doesn’t show the delete app button.

iPad, iOS 13

Hello,


Does your iPad have any restrictions set or any configuration profiles installed?


Settings > General > Profiles


If you do not see a Profiles pane in Settings then your device does not have any profiles installed.


Settings > Screen Time > Restrictions


Do you also use Family Sharing?
