Uninstalling from the Play Store

Uninstalling apps from the Play Store provides you with two convenient methods. The first involves opening the Play Store, searching for the app, tapping on its listing, and selecting Uninstall.

Alternatively, within the Play Store, tap on your profile, go to Manage apps & device, and choose the Manage tab. This displays a sorted list of installed apps, giving you the flexibility to sort by various criteria. Select the checkbox next to the app you wish to remove, triggering the appearance of a trash can icon at the top. Tap the icon to uninstall the app. This method facilitates the removal of multiple apps simultaneously, making it an efficient solution for substantial cleanups.

Uninstalling an app from your home screen or app drawer 

Simplify the app removal process by locating the app on your home screen or app drawer. Long-press on the app icon, triggering an option to either remove it from your home screen or app drawer or uninstall it. Drag the app icon over the Uninstall option and confirm by tapping OK. This quick and intuitive method streamlines the uninstallation process directly from your device’s home screen or app drawer.

For Samsung phone users, the app uninstallation process has a slight variation. Locate the app you wish to uninstall, long-press on it, and a pop-up menu will appear with the Uninstall option. Tap Uninstall and then confirm by tapping OK to efficiently remove the app from your Samsung device.
