If you can't delete an app that's not made by Apple, disable parental controls, then try deleting the app again. If you touch and hold an app from the Home Screen and the apps start to jiggle: Tap the Remove icon in the upper-left corner of the app. Tap Delete App, then tap Delete to confirm. This method allows you to remove all the default apps on your Android device, including the system apps. If you are planning to remove system apps, check if their absence won't interfere with the functioning of the device or other apps. Also, you can only uninstall pre-installed apps for the current user using this method.
