Missing 'Remove App' option on iPhone 14

I am trying to remove an application from my iPhone 14. When I hold the app button the option to remove the app from my phone does not appear. Only the option to remove from the Home Screen. How do I remove the app from my iPhone completely?

Assuming this is an app which can be removed, you likely have the ability to delete apps turned on in Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Make sure Deleting Apps is marked Allow.
