How to delete shortcuts from the Home screen of an iPhone ?

i added a new shortcut to my homescreen and wanted to get rid of it but whenever i try to “edit homescreen” it doesn’t show the little white x on the top. i deleted the shortcut on the app already but it still shows up on the homescreen. how do i remove it?

Move the app shortcut you want to remove to a new Home Screen page. Then delete the page:


  1. Touch and hold an empty area on your Home Screen.
  2. Tap the dots near the bottom of your screen.
  3. Tap the circle under the page that you want to remove.
  4. Tap the Remove button “-“, then tap Remove.
