Hold your finger on the app until a menu appears, then choose Remove App. If you don’t see Remove App as a choice either it is a built in app that can’t be removed (see→Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 12 or later device or Apple Watch - Apple Support) or you have deleting apps disabled in Screen Time settings. If you have Screen Time enabled, go to Settings/Screen Time/Content & Privacy Restrictions/iTunes & App Store Purchases and change Deleting Apps to Allow.


Then try deleting the app again.
