How do I delete an app on Android without an icon?

Some apps and games you can find might not show their pictures, called icons. Be careful with those. They could be bad for your phone. These bad apps might show unwanted ads or take your information. They can be like viruses or spy programs.

Do you have an app without an icon on your device?

If you put it on your phone by mistake, here is how to uninstall these apps:

1. Install the app named “Files by Google” from the Play Store.
2. Follow the path Files > Browse > Apps > Installed apps.
3. Here, you will see all the apps installed on your device.
4. Find the suspicious apps and uninstall them.

NOTE: Please check the information about each app before you uninstall it. Removing system apps might make your device unstable.

Why do some websites offer these bad apps?

Some websites make money when they let these bad apps be on their site. These apps can make lots of ads show up on your phone, and that’s how they make money. They can also have bad parts, like viruses.

For example, if ads pop up when you’re not even using any apps or games, your phone might have a bad app on it. You can remove it in your settings, under the list of apps.

Also, watch out for tricky ads on websites that try to trick you.

For example, they might say you won money. If you click on it, they might take you to a payment app like PhonePe, Google Pay, or PayPal. It might look like there’s money for you, and they trick you into giving your password. Then they can steal your money.

So, don’t click on things if you’re not sure what they are. Stay safe!
