iOS.13.n Protect apps from deletion

[iBozz]

In previous iOS versions, there has been a facility to prevent apps being deleted without entering the passcode. I used this, and the ability to prevent in-app purchases, to prevent my inquisitive Grandchildren from doing things that they oughtn't!

Now that I am on iOS.13.n, last night I wanted to delete and reinstall a troublesome app - but found the delete protection set to on, presumably carried over from the previous versions of iOS - and for the life of me I cannot find where Apple have hidden the On/off toggle for app deletion, purchases, etc.requiring a passcode.

I've attempted to search the interwebbything but to no avail.

Can someone put me out of my misery and tell me where I can now find these useful options?

many thanks in advance.

That has been moved to Settings - Screen Time - Content & Privacy Restrictions in iPadOS 13.

Many thanks - there's some twisted logic in hiding it there! I wouldn't have connected Screen Time (something which is of absolutely no interest to me - I'm no fan of Dark Mode either for that matte, but I digress) with protecting my iPad from roaming Grandchildren's' enquiring little fingers!

App now deleted and reinstalled.

Thanks again.

You’re welcome.
