Builtin Apps cannot be Deleted.

You likely updated your device (intermittently), and they reappear. They would be in your App Library.


Finding Apps:


A. Swiping Finger:

To see your App Library, swipe you finger down from the top-right corner of the screen towards the bottom-center. then, drag these items to the Home Screen.


B. Reset the Home Screen Layout:

If widgets are not working as they should or have gone missing somehow, then you need to reset the Home Screen Layout...

Go Here: Move and Organize Apps on iPhone - Apple Support. IMPORTANT: You'd have to add back all the widgets that you can recall being back on there. So, write down what is currently on the Home Screen, or take a screenshot of each Home Screen.

Scroll to: Reset the Home Screen and Apps to their Original Layout

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: General
  3. Tap: Reset
  4. Tap: Reset Home Screen Layout
  5. Then... Add the apps back
