Many Android phones come pre-installed with various applications. Some of these apps are incredibly useful, while others take up unnecessary space. For many individuals, YouTube falls into the latter category. This app occupies approximately 175 MB or more of space and can double, triple, or even increase further in size during usage. In fact, roughly 1% of YouTube users consider uninstalling the app from their devices each month.
Have you been searching for guidance on how to uninstall YouTube on Android, only to read numerous articles on Google without finding a viable solution? Perhaps these articles provided outdated methods for deleting the YouTube app that no longer works. Well, you've stumbled upon the right article now. In this guide, we will provide you with the 5 latest, working methods. By using these methods, you can be 100% confident that you will successfully delete or uninstall YouTube from your device.
If you're looking for a quick and easy way to remove YouTube from your Android device, you can simply delete it from your home screen. This method is fast, but keep in mind that it only removes the shortcut from your screen, not the app itself. If you're looking to uninstall it entirely, you'll need to go further into your device settings or Play Store.
Step 1. Find the YouTube icon on your home screen or in the app drawer.
Step 2. Tap and hold the YouTube app icon until a menu appears at the top of the screen.
Step 3. In the menu, tap on "Uninstall" or "Remove", depending on your Android version. You will see a prompt asking if you're sure you want to remove the app. Confirm by tapping "OK".
How can I uninstall YouTube? If you want to completely remove YouTube from your Android device, you can uninstall it directly through your device's settings. This method is ideal for apps that were downloaded from the Play Store. However, keep in mind that system apps like YouTube may only be disabled, not fully uninstalled.
Step 1. Open the Settings app on your Android device.
Step 2. Scroll down and select "Apps" or "Applications" (the name may vary based on your device).
Step 3. Select the "Manage apps". Then, from the list of installed apps, scroll down and tap on YouTube.
Step 4. On the YouTube app's page, you'll see an option to Uninstall (if it's not a system app) or Disable (if it's pre-installed).
Step 5. Tap "Uninstall" to remove the app from your device, or "Disable" if it's a built-in app you can't completely remove.
Another way to uninstall YouTube is through the Google Play Store. This is especially useful if you installed YouTube from the Play Store and want to completely remove it.
How do I uninstall YouTube?
Step 1. Open the Google Play Store on your Android device.
Step 2. Tap the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) located in the top-left corner.
Step 3. From the menu, select "My apps & games" to view all of your installed apps.
Step 4. In the Installed tab, find YouTube in the list. Tap on "Uninstall" next to the YouTube app.
For users who want to take a more advanced approach, using ADB (Android Debug Bridge) can help you uninstall YouTube, even if it's a system app. ADB requires a bit more technical knowledge, but it offers a more comprehensive way to remove apps that can't be uninstalled through normal settings.
How do you uninstall YouTube?
Step 1. Go to "Settings" > "About phone" and tap the Build number seven times to unlock Developer Options.
Step 2. Navigate to "Settings" > "Developer options", and toggle on "USB debugging".
Step 3. Download and install the ADB tool on your computer and set up the necessary drivers for your device.
Step 4. Connect your Android device to your computer using a USB cable.
Step 5. Open a command prompt or terminal window on your PC and enter the following command: adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube.
Step 6. Press "Enter". This will remove the YouTube app from your device.
