delete weather app

I can't delete the "Weather" app (apparently provided by the Weather.Channel) from my iPhone 6. When I touch and hold the icon I don't get the x in the top left corner like I do in most of the other icons.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.1

Which Weather App specifically are you trying to delete?

This is Apple's default Weather App, and cannot be deleted:

This is the Weather Channel App, and should be able to be deleted:

If you are not getting the ✖ in the corner, make sure Deleting Apps is not restricted in Settings->General->Restrictions

It Isn't. Apple's default Weather App, gets its data from the Weather Channel service. The App itself is Apple made.

The actual Weather Channel App, is the blue one with white text.

There are 2 different Apps, they just get their data from the same place.

Thanks. I didn't realize that app was Apple's default since it displays the Weather Channel's logo.

The weather information is provided by the Weather Channel, hence the logo.
