- It is a pre-installed application: Although you can delete many pre-installed apps on your iPhone 13, you cannot delete them all.
- Content Restrictions: If you got your iPhone 13 through work, school, or parents, there may be settings preventing you from deleting some important apps. This is done using a feature called Content Restrictions. To change these settings, you need the password set up by the person who gave you the iPhone.
