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 will have been selected as a device administrator. You must deactivate administrator privileges before removing Kaspersky app through the list of apps or a mobile app store.

How to deactivate administrator privileges for the app

  1. Open Settings > Security > Device administrators (the section names may vary in different Android versions).
  2. Clear the check box for Kaspersky app.
  3. Tap Deactivate.
  4. Enter your secret code if the app prompts you for it.

    Administrator privileges will be deactivated. Depending on the version of Android it is running, the device will be locked with either a secret code, pattern lock, or fingerprint.

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.
