How do I permanently uninstall the Playground app on my iPhone 18 Pro running iOS 27.2?

The Playground app automatically installed on my 18 Pro (as many apps do), but the problem I’m having is that no matter how many times I uninstall it, it reinstalls itself after a few hours. I have deleted it four or five times now but it always comes back.

Model: iPhone 18 Pro

OS: iOS 27.2, up-to-date

Original Title: Playground app cannot be uninstalled on my 18 Pro with iOS 27.2; doing so removes it from the device briefly but it always reinstalls itself without permission within minutes or hours

You can't delete it evidently. It's now part of Apple Intelligence which is hard coded into the iOS of your iPhone.

Don't use it if you don't want to use it. Or if for some odd reason it really is bothersome to see an app you don't have to use, you can hide it and this link explains how you can hide an app --> Lock or hide apps on your iPhone - Apple Support
