Hello Rubybeauty4life,



When you hold an app, you get 3 options. Remove App, Share App, Edit Home Screen.


Once you choose Remove App, you then get Delete app, Remove from Home Screen, or Cancel.


If you do not see this, check if you have parental controls in Settings > Screen Time.


  • Or check for Profiles: Settings  > General > VPN & Device Management. 


Thanks.
