I have not installed the latest update on my iPhone. I have always been able to add and delete the facebook app. I occasionally have to use it for work but outside of that I do not want Facebook on my phone. I can no longer delete the app and it is taking over 200mb on my phone. I do not trust the app on my phone and want it permanently deleted. Any help appreciated.
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hi, this info did not work for me. I have a problem where I "deleted" the app, but it's not really gone. When I search for Facebook on my home screen, the app keeps popping up in my search. I can then click on it, but I cannot delete it. I can only "share" it.
This is very frustrating as I've had no problem deleting this app in the past.
It's also very strange because even though I can find it in search, it's not my home screen. That means I can't even try to delete it again. If I search for "Facebook" in the app store, I can only open it because it's already on my iPhone.
I simply can't remove this thing.
Thank you for that info, but I have actually tried that and there is no option to delete, so weird.
Just to let you know I'm not misleading you, here is a screenshot.
You are the best. That worked!
Have a great weekend.
