My iPad will not let me delete an app

I can’t delete any apps. Do I need to change settings?

If they jiggle but there is no Minus sign option to delete, the usual reason is a restriction set on deleting apps. On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps.
