Step-by-Step Guide for Uninstalling Apps on Android

Method 1: Slide Icon on Home Screen to Uninstall

You can uninstall apps from the home or display screen by holding your finger on the icon and completing the uninstall action. This will vary slightly from phone to phone. The screenshot below shows a Google Pixel 8 Pro.

To uninstall an app using this method, hold your finger on the icon until it has unlocked from its display position and then slide it up the screen into the area that says "Uninstall." Once this has been done, a confirmation window appears on-screen asking you to confirm that you wish to uninstall the app. The process will work similarly on other Android phones.

Method 2: Manage Apps from the Play Store

You can also uninstall an app using the Play Store settings. Open the Google Play Store and tap your profile icon at the top right of the screen. Next, select "Manage apps and devices" from the list. On the next screen, select "Manage." Check the box next to the app that you want to uninstall and click the trash can icon. This method enables you to uninstall multiple apps at once.

Method 3: Search for App in Play Store

There’s also another way to uninstall apps from your phone in the Play Store. Search for the name of the app you want to remove from your phone, and then open the app details. Under the app name, you’ll see two buttons, one to open the app and one to uninstall it. Select "Uninstall." You’ll need to confirm on the next screen that you do want to uninstall.
