Xcode Previews is stuck on my Home Screen

I know that Xcode previews is used for developers. I am not a developer. I was messing around on the shortcuts app and saw Xcode previews. I clicked on it and ran the shortcut. The Xcode previews app has been on my home screen ever since. I can’t delete it. Is there anyway to get rid of it because it is kind of annoying. I put it in my App Library then the next day it is back on my Home Screen.

iPhone 12

Hello Deanta217, 


Being able to delete applications that have been downloaded on your iPhone is important, and you’ve come to a great place for help. From the description you provided it sounds as though you may have Content & Privacy Restrictions enabled. This setting can be found in Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. If you see a green toggle, tap the toggle to disable that feature. You can find more information about Screen Time, and Content & Privacy Restrictions in the following article. 


Use parental controls on your child’s iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Once disabled, you’ll be able to follow the steps in the article below to remove the application from your iPhone.
