Uninstalling the app

We recommend using the Kaspersky app menu to uninstall the app.

To uninstall Kaspersky app:

  1. Open Kaspersky app.
  2. On the bottom tab bar, tap Profile > Settings > Uninstall the app.
  3. On the Uninstall Kaspersky app screen, tap Next.
  4. If needed, enter the app secret code.

    The app requests the secret code if the Uninstallation protection checkbox is selected in the Where is My Device feature's settings.

  5. Confirm the uninstallation of Kaspersky app.

Kaspersky app will be uninstalled.

If you have enabled Where is My Device, Kaspersky app for Android will have been selected as a device administrator. You must deactivate administrator privileges before removing Kaspersky app for Android through the list of apps or Google Play.

How to deactivate administrator privileges for the app

If you are using the pre-installed version of Kaspersky app on your device, you can disable the app in your device's system settings. Kaspersky app will still be installed on your device, but it will not start operating until you enable it.
