How do I delete apps from my library?

I hold my finger down and the app jiggles but there is no way to delete it completely. Help

iPhone 12 Pro

Note that some built-in Apple apps cannot be deleted.

 

If that isn't the cause and none of the apps can be deleted there may be a restriction set on deleting apps. On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps.
