I cannot delete any apps? Jiggles but no x appears. Long press no option listed to delete. Settings doesn’t allow me the option. None of this works for me

How can I delete apps from my iPad? The ways I’ve used throughout the year no longer work?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

If you are experiencing difficulties with adding or removing Apps to/from your iPad, you need to check your ScreenTime restrictions:

  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Adding Apps - ensure that this permission is set to Allow
  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps - ensure that this permission is set to Allow
