Google recently released the December Play Services update, which contains a new feature – remote uninstallation of applications. Although this feature has not yet been officially launched, a technology enthusiast has successfully experienced it in advance through code mining.
Assemble Debug details how to remotely uninstall apps through the Play Store on its blog. He successfully activated the feature on Play Store version 38.8. Just as apps can now be installed remotely, users will soon be able to remotely uninstall apps on connected devices.
However, We have noticed that compared with installation, the uninstallation process seems slightly complicated. The following are the expected steps after the function is officially launched:
-
Open the Play Store, click your profile picture in the upper right corner, and select “Manage Apps and Devices.”
-
Scroll to the “Manage” section.
-
Click on the current device name and a list of all connected devices will appear.
-
Select the device from which you want to uninstall the app.
-
Select the app you want to uninstall from the device’s list of installed apps.
-
Click the delete icon in the upper right corner to uninstall the selected app.
Assemble Debug also mentioned that users can sort by app name or size to easily find and delete apps that take up more storage space. There is currently a small problem with this feature, which is that it does not list all installed applications. However, Google should fix this issue when it is officially released.
According to Google’s change log, this app uninstall feature will be available on a variety of devices including cars, computers, phones, TVs, and Wear OS. This means that users can easily manage apps across all their connected devices just from their phone.
