Hi, there are two ways that you can delete apps on your phone permanently

A. The easy way

>>Hold on any app from the home screen

There should be a “Remove App” option, if not please make sure that your iOS is up-to-date.

if it does not work, try this

B. The “technical” way

Settings> General> iPhone Storage> Select an App that you wanted to delete> Delete App


A few default apps will not be available to delete but most of them will. I hope this instruction will get your problem solved, if not please contact Apple Support by 1800-MYAPPL
