Uninstalling AppLock Pro from your Android device requires a few steps to ensure it's fully removed, especially if you've used it to secure your device settings. Following the correct procedure guarantees a smooth experience and prevents accidental lockouts or lingering security measures. Use the instructions below to securely uninstall AppLock Pro in minutes.
Step 1: Disable Protection on Device Settings
If you locked your main Settings app with AppLock Pro, you’ll need to unlock it first to avoid password prompts during uninstallation. Open AppLock Pro, authenticate, and from the main list, unlock your Settings app. This step is essential to prevent uninstall issues caused by security restrictions.
Step 2: Remove Applock Pro via App Settings
- Go to your phone’s Settings.
- Tap on Apps, Applications, or Manage Apps (varies by device).
- Scroll through your installed apps and select AppLock Pro.
- Tap Uninstall and confirm your choice.
Step 3: Clear App Data (If Necessary)
If AppLock Pro resists removal due to device administrator rights or app security, clear its app data first. In the App Info screen, tap Storage, then Clear Data and Clear Cache. Try uninstalling again—this forces AppLock Pro to release its security permissions and settings, allowing full removal.
Additional Troubleshooting Tips
- Restart your phone between steps if uninstall fails.
- Ensure AppLock Pro isn’t set as a Device Administrator under Security & Privacy settings.
- Contact AppLock LLC’s support if you encounter persistent issues.
