It works every time I try it. Is there something unusual about your computer or browser? ---

Ah - okay. You needed to click it for a relatively long time, which made me thought it wasnt working. I’m probably accustomed to the ux of WhatsApp. Just a suggestion - maybe make the clck and hold shorter? Thank you! Also, on the desktop it works, but I can’t seem to get it to work on my phone. ---

You can only delete from the app builder on the desktop. You can’t delete from a phone. ---

We will lower the amount of time you need to hold! This has bothered me as well for a while. ---
