Deleting Apps

I’ve been trying to delete apps, but it won’t give me an option for it. I double tapped it but it only let mr delete it off of my home screen but not permanently. When I go to settings, it doesn’t have an option for it either

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Hello PChatman,

Solution 1:

Fallow settings> general> iPhone storage and find the app you want to delete. Click it and then;

if you want to delete it temporarily click offload app. ( It will offload the app but your data will be remained and it is gonna continue taking space in your storage)

if you want to delete it permanently click delete app. (It will delete it all of your data with the app you deleted.)

Solution 2:

If you still can not delete it try restarting your phone, it will fresh up your phone. Then try again deleting the app you want to delete. Hope that it helped, have a nice day!
