Please check: Screen Time - Content & Privacy Restrictions - iTunes & App Store Purchases - Deleting Apps = Allow.

So I did that. I turned off "screen time". Which I never turned on. I also restarted the phone.


I can now delete the apps from the Home Screen, IF they are on the Home Screen. I also deleted a few in "Account" "updated recently ". here delete works.


But I still have apps deep inside my iPhone which I had not used for ten years. I only just found them again, which is not good for privacy.


The "hide" the app option makes no sense to me. What is the point ?
