How do I delete apps from my iPhone?

So I want to delete instagram threads. When i held it to delete, it asked “Remove from Home Screen” or “Share.” There’s no delete option. Went to app library. “Add to Home Screen” and “Share.” Went to the App Store. “Update.” Settings.. nothing. I tested if another app does the same thing and it’s not just a Threads thing and.. yep! I guess I just can’t delete any apps. Why? How do I delete them? Help!!!!

If you cannot delete any apps, there may be a restriction set on deleting apps. On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps.
