Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content and Privacy Restrictions > iTunes and App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps, and make sure that is set to Allow.


Note that some built-in iOS apps cannot be deleted off your iPhone. And if this device is managed by your school or work, you may also not be able to delete apps due to their MDM restrictions.
