IPHONE 15 PLUS cannot delete applications (How to fix it)

To help you, we have some verified solutions that you can try. So, if you can’t delete apps on IPHONE 15 PLUS, here’s how to fix it.

Why can’t I delete apps on my IPHONE 15 PLUS?

Non-removable applications– You can remove almost all third-party apps and several built-in Apple apps. However, you cannot delete the main system apps such as Phone, Messages, Settings, Photos, Camera, Safari, App Store, Clock, Find My, Health and Wallet.
If you really want to destroy yourself from any of them, you can hide them from view.

Screen time restrictions – Have your parents put a screen time block on apps, or have you done it yourself by mistake?

Mobile device management (MDM) restrictions – If the IPHONE 15 PLUS was given to you by your company, school or other organization of this type, it may have a particular profile that prevents the uninstallation of certain applications. Please contact the appropriate administrator for assistance.
If this is the case, you cannot delete the apps unless you have administrator rights. So, hide and make peace with it.

Incomplete download – The app download has frozen due to some error, and now it is neither inside nor outside your IPHONE 15 PLUS
