In general, almost any third-party app can be deleted from iPhone. However, when it comes to native Apple apps, iPhone prevents you from deleting native apps that are considered as being essential for proper functioning of your device.
For example, native Apps like Safari, App Store, Photos, Camera, Settings, Messages, Wallet and Find My are considered as being an integral part of iOS operating system and they cannot be deleted.
While native apps like Books, Calculator, Calendar, Compass, Contacts, FaceTime, Files, Home, iTunes Store, Mail, Maps, Music, Measure, News, Notes, Podcasts, Reminders, Stocks, Shortcuts, Tips, Translate, TV, Voice Memos, Weather and Watch can be deleted from iPhone.
