You have to do it directly on the phone on which you need more storage. Hold down on the app icon until it wiggles, then tap the X on the corner of the icon to delete the app. You can offload the app and retain the app data if you would rather do that. Go to Settings>General>iPhone Storage? Find the app in the list, tap on it and offload it in the next screen.
