How to remove Shortcuts app from home screen on iPhone

I made a shortcut for an app and added it to the home screen. I deleted the shortcut in the app, but the app on the home screen is still there. I did the hold-on thing until the apps started shaking and there was no delete button. Please tell me how to get rid of it.

You could try to reset the Home Screen and apps to their original layout :


  1. Go to Settings  > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone.
  2. Tap Reset, tap Reset Home Screen Layout, then tap Reset Home Screen.


Any folders you’ve created are removed, and apps you’ve downloaded are arranged alphabetically after apps that came with your iPhone. So you'll have to customize your home screen again.
