Hi jasi177,


If you have Screen Time enabled on their iPhone, you might have set some restrictions that prevent them from making changes to the device. If you have Screen Time set up, follow these steps from your iPhone (or the device used to manage their iPhone).

You can also prevent your child from being able to install or delete apps, make in-app purchases, and more. To prevent iTunes & App Store purchases or downloads:
1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time. 
2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode.
3. Tap iTunes & App Store Purchases.
4. Choose Deleting Apps and set to Allow

Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


Kindest Regards.
