We’ll cover the Play Store method first, which works the same way for everyone. 1. Open the Play Store on your Android smartphone or tablet tap the hamburger menu icon in the top-left corner. Select “My Apps & Games” from the menu. Switch to the “Installed” tab and find the app you want to uninstall. From the app information page, simply tap the “Uninstall” button.

A disabled app is not removed from your device, but it’s not allowed to run in the background or appear in your app drawer. Disabling is typically available for pre-loaded apps that aren’t essential to the operation of the device. For example, if the Facebook app came pre-loaded, you probably can’t uninstall it, but it can be disabled. To do this, we’ll first swipe down from the top of the screen (once or twice, depending on your phone or tablet’s manufacturer) and tap the gear icon to open the Settings menu. Next, select “Apps & Notifications.” Tap “See All [Number] Apps” for the full list of installed apps. Select the app that you wish to uninstall/disable. On the app info page, you’ll either see the option to “Uninstall” or “Disable.” Tap it. A pop-up will ask you to confirm that you want to disable the app. Tap “Disable App” to proceed. If the app can’t be disabled, the option will be grayed out. +-----+ d - disabled, I disabled data access for many apps k - keep p - could only change permissions (maybe stop?) s? - could force "stop" u - uninstalled x - can't do anything about [permission, uninstall, stop, etc] +-----+ d Android Auto - connects to car ??
