After this setting, your Kids or anyone else with temporary access to your device won’t be able to delete Apps, without changing the settings to “Allow” for Deleting of Apps.

Confirm That Apps Cannot Be Deleted on your iPhone

Now that you have just disabled Apps from being deleted on your iPhone, it is a good idea to confirm that it is indeed not possible to delete Apps on your device.

1. From the home screen of your iPhone, tap and hold on any app icon on your device until the App icons start to Wiggle.

2. Since Deleting of the Apps has been disabled, you will not be able to see “X” symbol next to Apps on your iPhone.

In normal settings, tapping and holding on any of the App icons causes an “X” sign to appear at the top left corner of the App icons, allowing you to delete Apps by tapping on the X symbol.

This confirms that your kids or anyone that has temporary access to your device won’t be able to delete Apps on your iPhone without knowing your restrictions passcode.
