An App Developer won't be able to help you with App deletion.


Assuming that the iPad is not centrally managed by a School or other Educational establishment, start here:

Assuming that your iPad is not centrally managed by an Educational Establishment or Business (as the device may be remotely managed) - if you are experiencing difficulties with adding, updating or removing Apps from your iPad, you’ll need to check your ScreenTime restrictions:


  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Adding Apps - set to Allow
  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps - set to Allow
  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > In-app Purchases - set to Allow


Be aware that Apps can be removed from Home Screens without actually deleting the App from the device. In such circumstances, the App can be located and deleted from the App Library.

Find and use your apps in App Library on iPad - Apple Support
