Can’t delete an app on iPad. Hi, I have an iPad that is managed by an external organisation that has certain restrictions enabled and I recently signed into the same Apple ID as on my personal iPhone . This meant that when I installed an app on my phone it also installed on the iPad. I can’t delete the app off the iPad however because my iPad has blocked that app so it doesn’t show on the home screen or in the storage settings. On the App Store it does show up with a blue “open” button, but once pressed a pop up says restrictions enabled. There is also no way to factory reset the iPad or remove the restrictions as these are all blocked. if anyone knows a way delete the app without connecting to iTunes or a windows PC I would be really pleased as my computer runs Linux and doesn’t support iTunes. thankyou.

Can’t delete an app on iphone11 There is an app I would like to uninstall completely from my apps (on iPhone 11 and online). When I press and hold the app the only it options it gives me are too share the app. I went to my “restrictions” under settings and my deleting apps icon is set to “allow”. However it is still not allowing me to delete the app. How do I do this!

Preventing apps from beeing deleted unintentionally by setting restriction without effect I want to disable app deletion from homescreen. In Screen Time / Content & Privacy Restrictions / iTunes & App Store Purchases / Deleting Apps ist set to Don’t Allow. However it is still possible to tap and hold on the screen an delete apps. On an iPad the setting is effective and app deletion is prohibited as expected. All devices run iOS / iPadOS 14.4.1. Checked this on three iPhones and two iPads. All iPads = OK, all iPhones = NOT OK. Do I miss something or is it a bug?
