Some of the built in apps cannot be deleted→Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 12 or later device or Apple Watch - Apple Support.


If you have Screen Time enabled, go to Settings/Screen Time/Content & Privacy Restrictions/iTunes & App Store Purchases and change Deleting Apps to Allow.


Then try deleting the app again.
