Hi Jhhhhhhhhhhggggggg,


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities. We understand you're having problems deleting an app on your iPhone.


What happens when you follow the steps found in the resource you came to us from?

Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


"How to delete an app


  1. Touch and hold the app.
  2. Tap Remove App .
  3. Tap Delete App, then tap Delete to confirm.


Keep in mind that some built-in Apple apps can't be deleted from your device, so you might not see the option to delete an app. Here’s a list of built-in Apple apps you can delete from your device. If you can't delete an app that's not made by Apple, disable parental controls, then try deleting the app again.


If you touch and hold an app from the Home Screen and the apps start to jiggle:


  1. Tap the Remove icon in the upper-left corner of the app.
  2. Tap Delete App, then tap Delete to confirm.
  3. Tap Done."


Tell us more about exactly what happens when you follow these steps.


Cheers!
