How to uninstall android apps - Intune
Hi there,
We want to uninstall an app from Android devices.
I did the same with iOS phones, it was super easy.
I went to InTune, All Apps --> created an App : specified the App type (iOS Store App) --> then Under assignments, specified from which devices it should be uninstalled. It worked very well.
Now with Android, I did the same, but there is no Uninstall option under assignments.
Anyone knows how we do it with android?
Thanks
Ali
- Hi Ali,
You will have the option to uninstall in Android only if the app’s type “managed google play store”. Means synced from your managed play store to Intune.
It looks like the app you trying to remove is Android Store App.
Hope this helps!

When will Microsoft be adding the ability to uninstall and/or disable non-Managed Google Play Store apps?
We are in need of uninstalling/disabling apps such as the Phone app from our Android-based warehouse scanners.
Thanks,
Jacob
- Thijs LecomteBronze ContributorIF you don't use a Managed Google Play Account, this means that you don't use Android Enterprise and you are using Android Device Administrator.
Android Device Administrator is legacy. Hiding/removing built-in apps is possible with Android Enterprise.
