Deleting an app

I need to delete and reinstall an app cause the version on my phone is corrupt. When I press and hold the app it doesn’t give me the option to delete, just remove from Home Screen. Any ideas? I have an iPhone X

How to delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


you can delete from the App Library by locating the app and tap/hold, select Delete App


or you can go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > [app name] > Delete


If you still are unable to delete, check:

Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps

make sure that's set to 'Allow'
