Deletion of app that is not on home screen

I have an app on my iPhone that I need to delete but the app does not appear on my home screen and it can't be moved to my home screen

 If the app is only in the App Library screen (swipe left past the last Home screen), touch and hold the app there and then tap Delete app.


Note that some built-in Apple apps cannot be deleted.

 

If there is no delete option, there may be a restriction set on deleting apps. On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps.
