Deleting Apps From IPhone

It used to be so easy to delete an app, from my IPhone 11 Pro Max! Until they brought out the 11.7.4 iOS version? Now I have trouble with everything on my iPhone? I just want to delete apps I don’t use or don’t like from my iPhone completely, can someone please help?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 17

No problem. The specific setting is at Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps. It is just easier to shut off Screen Time to remove all restrictions, but you can still use Screen Time and make sure that Deleting Apps is set to Allow at that location..

I used to be able to swipe to the left on the game app that I want to delete in settings and it would come up with delete and I would just press that. Or the other way was to hold down on the app itself and it would come up delete, but now it says delete app from Home Screen, or share? I’ve also tried adding it to Home Screen and the same thing happens?
