Question

The uninstall option is not there at all, nor is the disable option there.

Community Answer

Go into settings of your phone. Then, go to the Apps section and find Google Chrome. Once you find it, click on it and you should see one of the options.

Question

When I open my cell, Chrome has a very discussing sentence on it and I can't stand it. I want to delete Chrome.

Community Answer

I don't know what you mean by Chrome having a very discussing sentence on it but you can't delete Chrome because it's a system application. You can only delete its updates but that doesn't delete Chrome itself.

Question

The uninstall option doesn't appear on Alcatel phones. Any advice?

Jack Herrera

Community Answer

This may be because the laptop/tablet was built with the Chrome app in it and it won't let you uninstall it.

Question

I have a Blu phone with Android 9. I constantly have to force stop Chrome and disable it. After a short time, like a day, Chrome shows back up on my home screen. Anyone know how to stop this?

If this is the case, you most likely own a device that was manufactured by Google. An easy way to tell is if you have Google Assistant. If it is made by Google, deleting Chrome might not be an option.

Question

How much memory is released for use by a) uninstalling Chrome and b) disabling it?

Top Answerer

None. Chrome only uses uses RAM when it is running. Uninstalling it would require closing it first.

Question

After all the above procedures, it only gave me the option to disable it and I don't want it on my phone because hidden apps are being hidden in it to hack my phone.

Chrome cannot be uninstalled on Android. To hide it from your apps screen, disable it. It cannot be uninstalled as it is the phone's default browser.
