How do I delete Apps on my iPhone 6? The old way of shaking and getting an x to touch doesn’t work anymore, no x shows up

I don’t know how to delete Apps anymore from my iPhone 6. I used to hold the home button and they’d shake and an x would appear, I touched the x and the App would delete. Now they shake but no x appears. Help

If there isn't an "X" on any app, there may be a restriction set on deleting apps. On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps.
