iPhone 17: 'Delete App' option missing
Please help! I can't delete apps on my iPhone 17 and I have the newest iOS version (26.5.2.). When i hold the app it only asks if i want to "remove it from the home screen" or not, but it doesn't show "delete app" - same thing also happens if I remove it from the home screen.
I already did everything I could find on internet that could help but nothing worked. Here is everything I tried and it didn't work:
- Checked Screen Time restrictions on deleting apps - is set on allow but still unable to delete the apps
- Checked that my iPhone isn't added to a work or school profile or vpn - it isn't
- I also tried to delete it in Settings-General-iPhone Storage but when I clicked on an app there is no "delete app" button that always is there
- It is a 3rd party app not an inbuilt app (more specifically Instagram but also other apps I'm unable to delete like Facebook or Spotify)
- I tried to restart my phone but nothing changed
Please help if you have any ideas!! My phone is new. I purchased it a month ago from an Apple Store directly.
