Hello,

If this app only appears in the Messages app and has a rounded rectangular icon shape, follow these steps from Apple to delete it:

Open Messages.
Tap the Compose button to start a new message. Or go to an existing conversation.
Swipe left over the app drawer and tap the More button .
Swipe left over the app, then tap Delete.
Tap Done.

If the app is standalone and not found just in Messages and has a rounded square icon shape, follow these steps from Apple to delete it:

Remove an app from the Home Screen: Touch and hold the app on the Home Screen, tap Remove App, then tap Remove from Home Screen to keep it in App Library, or tap Delete App to delete it from iPhone.
Delete an app from App Library and Home Screen: Touch and hold the app in App Library, tap Delete App, then tap Delete. (See Find your apps in App Library.)

Thanks for reaching out!
