Completely uninstalling Chrome isn't possible on most Android phones because it's often pre-installed. However, you can disable it. On iPhones, you can uninstall Chrome.
Deleting Chrome on an iPhone
- Touch and hold the Chrome app icon on your iPhone or iPad's home screen.
- Tap Remove App in the top-left corner of the icon.
- Confirm the removal to uninstall Chrome and delete its associated data.
Disabling Chrome on an Android Phone
Since you cannot fully uninstall Chrome on most Android devices, disabling it is the closest alternative. Here's how:
- Open your phone's Settings app.
- Tap Apps (or a similar option like "Applications").
- Find and tap Chrome. If you don't see it immediately, you might need to tap "See all apps" or "App info" first.
- Tap Disable.
Uninstalling Chrome Using ADB (Advanced Users Only)
For advanced users with rooted Android devices, you can uninstall Chrome using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). This method requires technical expertise and carries a risk if not done correctly. The command to use is: adb uninstall com.android.chrome
Warning: This method requires a rooted device and familiarity with ADB. Incorrect usage can damage your device.
