Permanently delete iMessage apps

hi,


I have searched for it but I cannot find a solution in iOS 12.

App store shows me an update to the "gamepigon" app and I wanted to delete it from my phone. In the old iOS it was possible but now I can remove them from favorites but in the store either the system one or the iMessage store I have no option to delete.

Pressing long on the App icon has no effect.


Is this a bug or how is it possible to delete?
