Can't Delete App

I have tried everything to delete one particular app. iphone 6S plus IOS 15.7.3. The phone says it removed the app, but if you look in the app library, it's still there. I have gone to settings>general>storage but the app is not there. I have tried deleting the app, then restarting the phone, and it shows up again with a funky icon. BTW, the app won't work so I wanted to delete and reinstall it but nothing I've done seems to work! Help!

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 15

Sometimes when an iDevice won't update, you could use

a PC or Mac to update/upgrade the iPhone or an iPad.


You'd need to use AC adapter or separate power or

overnight. Depending on the choices you make; this

may take quite awhile in any case. Unless you set it

ahead of knowing an update exists, that requires an

extra effort.

Remove apps: (ios iphone 15.7.x)

Do any of the following:

Remove an app from the Home Screen:

  • Touch and hold the app on the Home Screen, tap Remove App, then tap Remove from

Home Screen, to keep it in App Library, or tap Delete App to delete it from iPhone.

  • Delete an app from App Library and Home Screen:

Touch and hold the app in App Library, tap Delete App, then tap Delete.

(See Find your apps in App Library.)

IF you change your mind, you can redownload apps you’ve removed..


from:

Remove apps from iPhone - Apple Support (iOS 15.7.x)

Or try this?

..Could you see if iPhone could take later update to iOS 15.7.5 ~ if not already?
