Cannot delete app

I am not able to delete an app from iPhone 12 Pro Max. I only get the options of Edit Home Screen and Share Bookmark. Is there anyway I can delete this?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 17

There are usually only two reasons an App can't be deleted:


  1. It is a built in App, which can't be removed - OR
  2. You have restrictions enabled which stops you from removing apps


If it's number 1, it can't be removed. If it's number 2, open the Settings App. Tap Screen Time Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. Tap iTunes & App Store Purchases. Make sure Deleting Apps is marked Allow
