“Delete application” function not available in iPhone

When you click on the application, you can edit the phone's desktop. But there is no “delete application” function. There is no cross on the application, only a dash. When you click on the “dash”, a menu appears where there is a function to delete the application, but when you click on it, the choice “remove from home screen” appears

Sounds like you have Screen Time restrictions or attempting to delete a system app that cannot be deleted. To check your Screen Time Restrictions, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps, and make sure it is set to Allow.
