Deleting apps on iPad & iPhone 8

How do you delete an app when the “Delete” option is not available by holding pressure on the selected app until the drop down menu appears? I’ve tried everything I could find in the current iPad User Manual and iPhone User Manual?

Some Apps are integral to iOS/iPadOS - and cannot be removed/uninstalled.


If you are having difficulties with removing other Apps from your devices, you need to check your ScreenTime restrictions:

Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps - ensure that this permission is set to Allow
