How to Remove/Uninstall Android Apps from a Lost Phone

There are a lot of apps available in the Google Play Store that hold the personal data while using. No one would expect to loose their phones and keep on using applications with all the sensitive information stored. What if they are lost? What about your personal data? Should you loose your privacy and money (if any credit card details were also stored)? - No. You no need to.

The best feature of Google play is that we can install the applications from the web browser straight away. We can just sign-in into our Google accounts, search for the apps, click to install. The download & installation procedure starts on the phone automatically. What about uninstalling? Can we do it straight away from Google Play?

Yes you can! Though, People actually suffer uninstalling an application from an android device. They use both kind of in-built and third party uninstallers to serve the purpose. Remember that you can only uninstall a single application from the device at a time. To uninstall the apps in bulk, you need to have a rooted device. Why to take worries when you can uninstall them from the play store itself.

Removing Apps from a lost phone

1. Sign-in to the Google Play Store and click on ‘my android apps’ that you have them installed currently on your lost device (If you are using multiple devices with the same account, you have to choose from the list of devices when first logged in).
2. You will see an ‘update’ option under each installed application showing you the update of most recent version of the app. Besides that, you can see a ‘bin’  for each installed application using which we can remove apps from the device. Simply click it to remove from the device.

Precautions:

• I recommend you to file a complaint in the police station about the lost phone before the thief bring you any anti-social elemental problems.
• Install security apps that would bring the phone back and the thief to police station. At least you would get the value for phone as recovery from him.
