Not all apps can be removed. Some native Apple apps cannot be removed, for example. If an app is on your iPhone, it will also be in the App Library. You can't remove an app from the App Library and leave the app on your iPhone. Otherwise, y_p_w provided the right procedure to remove an app from your iPhone.


Note: If you can't remove any apps from your iPhone, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases - Make sure Deleting Apps is marked Allowed
