Deleting iPhone apps

I’ve deleted several apps from my iPhone 12, but they still show up in settings.

How do I get rid of them?

Software is up to date and I’ve tried powering down the phone.

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'
