Cannot Uninstall Android Apps? See Reasons by rammyblog: 10:22pm On Oct 09, 2016 |
Hey Guys, Today i downloaded an Android App but after installing and i discovered it was not needed, i could not uninstall it. Then i noticed it did not show up in my apps list again. Installing was an easy task, uninstalling proved hard. If you are encountering this same problem then the two scenarios below might just be the cause. #1: App is Set As Administrator Certain Apps Need special access, and i do not mean root access. Certain administrator access – apps that do can set passwords, lock/unlock the phone, track its location, and lots of other neat stuff. In the latter case, you won't be able to uninstall an app without revoking its administrator access first. To Revoke The Administrator Access: To disable an application's administrator access, go to your Settings menu, find "Security" and open "Device Administrators". See if the app in question is marked with a tick. If so, disable it. Now go to your apps manager – the application should now be uninstallable. #2: The app is bloatware or part of the Android system Actually i hate bloatware apps(Android System Apps) because they consume lot of space. Take for example my phone came with 2gb pre-installed apps. But they just what you cannot do without. But you can stop it from wasting your resources other than storage space. This is done from the app manager in the Settings menu - see if the app gives you a "Disable" or "Turn off" option. To enable the app at a later time, swipe to the right-most tab in your app manager. In my next post i would teach you guys how to uninstall Bloatware or System Apps. Source: http://www.rammyblog.com.ng/2016/10/cannot-uninstall-android-apps-see.html |
