Delete apps

I’ve tried everything they tell me to do but I still cannot delete any apps on my iPhone 11. I only get one option in my library when I tap and hold the app icon, share app.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

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

Most likely, you have restrictions set via Screen Time. You must disable it. See this to learn all about using Screen Time on iPhone in iOS 14.


Additionally, here are some other fixes you can try:


  • Restart your iPhone.
  • Reset All Settings. (This will not delete personal data like music, photos, apps, etc. But it will delete all changed settings to default. This includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.)
  • Try deleting via the Settings app. For this, open the Settings app > General > iPhone Storage > tap the app name > Delete App.


Hope it helps.
