For several versions of the iOS operating system the process for deleting apps has involved tapping and holding on an app until it starts to shake. You can then tap the x on the app icon to delete it. With iOS 13 this has changed slightly to incorporate an additional menu where you select an “Arrange Apps” option, but the rest of the process remains the same.
