I can’t delete any apps

My iphone11 will not allow me to delete apps. It will only move them from the main screen to the App Library. These apps are taking up the majority of the memory of my phone. Please help!

What happens when you try to delete them from the App Library? Do you not see the option to delete there? If not, see this.


If you are experiencing difficulties with adding or removing Apps to/from your iPad, you need to check your ScreenTime restrictions:

  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Adding Apps - ensure that this permission is set to Allow
  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps - ensure that this permission is set to Allow
