Deleting unresponsive app.

When trying to delete an unresponsive app, I never get the second “delete app” option. My only option is “remove from Home Screen “ or Cancel

iPhone SE, iOS 16

Deleting an Unresponsive App:

OK, so what's the app? If a built in app, you may or more not be able to delete it. So, report back if it is shown here: Delete Built-In Apple Apps from your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch – Apple Support. If it is not shown, then it cannot be deleted.

Deleting an Unresponsive App:


Close All Apps:

An app may be running th the background. So, close all apps. Hold you finger down as you swipe up from the bottom-left corner, to the top-right corner. Then, close all of these open apps, by swiping up quickly for each app. Once all is closed, try this once. ore.

I'm glad it helped!

For future reference, that was what people were asking about when they asked you if you had any "parental controls" enabled. It's a bit confusing because they aren't called that on the phone itself.

Geez, am I people? 🙂
