  • Google is testing an “Uninstall” button directly within individual app listings in the Play Store.
  • This button, on individual app pages, will make it easier to remotely uninstall apps from other devices.

The Google Play Store forms an integral part of the Android flagship experience. It serves as the primary gateway to download and install apps and games on not only your phone but all connected devices in your hardware ecosystem. Over the years, Google has made it easier to manage apps across your device ecosystem straight from your primary device, but improvements can still be made. We’ve now spotted Google working on easier remote app uninstallation straight from the app listing page.

The Google Play Store lets you easily install apps and games on your other devices beyond the one you are using it on at that moment. When you open an app listing on the Play Store on an Android device, you can install the app on your current device and remotely install it on other devices signed into your Google account, including secondary phones, tablets, smartwatches, and even TVs and cars if applicable (depending on the platforms the app supports, and the platforms you use).
