Remove duplicate APP icons scattered throughout my iOS 15 screens

There was another closed thread about this that had a really snarky response from Apple.

”What evidence do you have…”

blah blah

Fortunately it was closed or Apple would have gotten an earful.


Anyway, I have 8 screens of APPs, and multiple groups of APPs, organized by function. Home, Health, Travel, etc. Scattered across those screens I have multiple icons for the same APP.


I realize this is a feature. I likely did it inadvertently moving APPs from the APP Library.


If I delete one of the duplicate APP icons, will I also be deleting the underlying APP?


Thank you in advance.


iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

When you hold your finger on an icon a floating menu will appear; tap on Remove App and you will have a choice of Remove from Home Screen or Delete App. Just choose the correct one.
