I had apps for work on my phone and they required an 8 digit passcode for safety, and now that I’ve deleted those apps it won’t let me go back to 4 digits in the settings. I’ve restarted my phone and that didn’t help
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16
Apps themselves should not have any control on the passcode length. If you have an Exchange email account or an office profile installed, it may require a specific length via a profile in Settings ➜ General ➜ VPN and Device Management.
You may not be able to remove it, if you still need access to the related Email account.
In any case, if you are now allowed to change the length, you can go to Settings ➜ Face ID & Passcode ➜ Change Passcode ➜ Passcode Options and select the 4-Digit Passcode option from the menu if available.
If it does not appear there, then you may still have a profile or email account determining the passcode length.

What toggle switch? Where?
The length change for the Passcode on an iPhone is just a list of options. There is no toggle switch related to it.
Are you referring to some other passcode? If so, which one?
Ther is a diabled toggle switch when I try to switch from an 8 number password to a 4 number
can you help?
Hi
Which accessibility feature are you to use or changing your passcode?
How do I change back to a 4 digit passcode from an 8 digit?
