I am not able to delete apps off of my iPad after installing them

I have an (apple) iPad Pro, and when I download something I can’t delete it. It is very annoying and I would like it not to happen. I think that this is happening because of my age restriction. Please can you change it so I can delete apps,


Thank you.

The setting that prevents you from deleting apps is located at Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps. When this is set to Don't Allow, you will not be able to delete any apps. If you are asked for a Screen Time passcode to access this setting, then you will need to have this done by the Organizer of the Family Sharing plan or the person the set the passcode.

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
