iPad Mini, cannot delete apps, get the wiggle, but no (x)

I have an Apple iPad Mini with software v 12.5.5

Holding the app icon for 5 sec gets the wiggle but no (x).

Read the forum but when I tried to find restriction under the General menu but it isn't there


Please share where I can find the menu to change app restrictions.


Thanks in advance for your prompt answer.

If you are experiencing difficulties with removing Apps from your iPad, you need to check your ScreenTime restrictions:

Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps - ensure that this permission is set to Allow
