Deleting an app via search or App Library

[xxray]

I find it very shortsighted that Apple allowed users to remove apps from the Home Screen, but require them to be on the Home Screen to delete them.

In other words, I can’t search for an app using Spotlight search or in the App Library, hold it down, and then delete it. I have to drag it to my Home Screen just to delete it. Very irritating.

You can delete apps from the app library.

You can delete apps from the app library.

But not from the list view.

But not from the list view.

I don’t know if it’s new with iOS 14.6 but I just found out that yes, you CAN delete apps from the list view.
