Deleting apps from phone screen

I cannot delete apps-my phone does not show the x in the corner when I jiggle app. How can I delete apps I’m not using?

While you can delete most apps, there are still a few you cannot delete. Not knowing what app or apps you are trying to delete, here is some information about built-in apps that can be deleted, and if they are not something extra that you downloaded, and they are not on the list, they cannot be removed. Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 12 or later device or Apple Watch - Apple Support

This support document also explains how to delete apps on the phone, How to delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

If you are still not sure, then provide the name of the app that you are trying to remove.
