Deleting apps on synchronized devices

when I delete an app on one of my 4 apple devices (say i pad Mini second generation), which are synchronized, does it delete on the 3 other devices that app as well?

iPad

No. Deleting an App on one device will not affect installed Apps on your other devices. App-deletions are not synchronised - whether or not the devices are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID.

I thank you for your reply.Unfortunately, the synch does not work, probably because 1 have :

1 Ipad mini, I phone registered in South Africa under my same Apple ID and

1 Ipad Pro 11 and 1 iPhone registered under my same apple ID in Switzerland.

They all 4 use different apps, meaning not all the apps are synchronized.

Could that be the cause of my problem?
