Recent IOS makes it deliberately hard to delete apps

[preetb]

Despite Apple's sanctimonious efforts to reduce usage, such as Focus, the company wants you to be tethered to their phone 24/7. For example, it is now ridiculously hard to delete an app. Dear Apple, wouldn't deleting some addictive apps reduce usage?! Well, that would be an anathema. Go ahead try to find the things you have to toggle on or off to delete apps. It's Tim cute way of playing hide and seek and us for fools.

Could you expand on what’s changed?

Holding my finger on an app icon continues to let me delete the app. Same as it always has been.

Still working the same for me.

Do you have content, and privacy restrictions turned on? What app or apps are you trying to delete?

More context is needed here

what are you going on about lol? deleting an app is as easy as holding down on it and selecting "delete app" from the pop up menu.... Right from the home screen... I mean I don't know how much easier they can make it.

Original post makes no sense at all.

And you probably never see the OP in this thread again.

Yeah cause the OP probably didn't realize what everyone has said already that deleting an app is still super easy by pressing and holding your finger until the app icon wiggles, then select delete.
