Thanks, Bob. Apparently the “do not allow to delete” was turned on. It must have been on since I purchased the phone years & years ago because I never switched it & have never been able to delete apps of any kind.

Settings- Screen Time - content and privacy restrictions - iTunes and App Store purchases - deleting apps.

Deleting apps was on “do not allow”

Thanks for answering anyway.

I may need to put this on Community since I’ve seen this question may times without an answer.
