Can’t delete app from library

Trying to permanently delete an app from my phone. It is in the App Library abs when I hold down on it the only options are:

  1. Share App
  2. Add to Home Screen


How do I delete it permanently?

First disable the Screen Time Restrictions, if any.


There are six possibilities

  1. Delete an offloaded App
  2. Delete an App from the Home Screen
  3. Remove an App from the Home Screen - Will be placed in the App Library
  4. Delete an App from the App Library
  5. Delete an inbuilt App - Not feasible
  6. Delete an inbuilt App with one feature - You do not get any options either (e.g. Magnifier)
