If you downloaded an app from the App Store and you want to remove that app, tap on the app and then tap on Remove App.

If you can’t see the option to delete an app

Some built-in Apple apps can’t be deleted from your iPhone or iPad. Here’s a list of built-in Apple apps you can delete from your device. If you can’t delete an app that’s not made by Apple, check your parental control settings. Make sure Deleting Apps is set to Allow, then try deleting the app again.
