Not looking to push lies but just reporting what I see. If the app is actually deleted from the phone as well, and not just the home screen, then I stand corrected.
The only apps that will do that are built in Apps from Apple. They are placed in a special App folder due to them being often intrinsic to the operation of other functions of the iPhone. Those are built into the operating system and cannot be deleted. All other apps, can be.
Sorry about being a bit brisk with you, I’m in a bit of pain. My back went out on me last night at my goddaughter’s wedding, and I’m still a bit not myself. My apologies. I’m usually not so bristly.
Since my lady died six months or so ago, it’s like someone has pinned a kick me sign on my back and nothing but bad luck has been my lot since. So. Again, my apologies.
