Uninstall applications in the app drawer or home screen

This is probably the fastest and easiest way to delete apps on your smartphone or tablet, but it doesn’t work on devices running older versions of Android. If the method described below doesn’t work for you, stick to one of the two options listed above.

Just find the application in the app drawer or home screen, tap and hold on to it, and drag it to the Uninstall section that you’ll see on the top of the screen. The final step is to tap OK when the window asking you to uninstall the app pops up.

You can also reach an app’s settings page from the home screen or app drawer:

1. Tap and hold on to an app located in the app drawer or on the home screen. Then release.
2. Go into App info.
3. Select Uninstall.
4. Hit OK.
