I can’t delete apps

When I try to delete apps it says add to remove from home screen and I went to settings press on general and iPad storage and press on the apps that I want to delete and I don’t see the option to delete apps and I’m so confused because when you can’t delete the apps, you go to settings, so I need your help to delete apps

iPad, iPadOS 17

Assuming that your iPad is not centrally managed by an Educational Establishment or Business (as the device may be remotely managed) - if you are experiencing difficulties with adding, updating or removing Apps from your iPad, you’ll need to check your ScreenTime restrictions:


  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Adding Apps - set to Allow
  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps - set to Allow
  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > In-app Purchases - set to Allow
