SOLVED! Android Apps Uninstall Themselves Automatically?

Quite a few factors could make Android apps uninstall themselves and to fix that, you must consider rooting your phone. Moreover, you could convert user apps to system apps, reboot your phone and so on. Spare some time to take a look at this article to put an end to the issue.

 

What are the symptoms of apps getting uninstalled automatically themselves?

The most common symptom is that you can’t find shortcuts of these apps in the interface of the phone, it already disappears even you don’t intend to delete them.

Or worse, the app shortcut still displays on your screen but you can’t use it. For example, messages notifications still show but when you tap it, the device says “Unfortunately, Messages has stopped”. 

Why do apps keep disappearing from your phone even you reinstall them many times?

Here are some main reasons:

  • The application is installed on the external SD card
  • You’ve installed or reached untrusted programs that harm your phone.
  • You were hacked. Check your Google account, any logins from unknown devices that may confirm you have been hacked, or maybe someone just doing it from there without rooting you.

These reasons above cause loss of applications. So be careful in what you are accessing or downloading.
