Google Play Store to soon let users remotely uninstall apps on all connected Android devices

Ever installed an app on your Android TV, smartwatch, or car console you later regretted? Gone are the days of digging through menus on those devices; Google Play Store is giving you the power of remote app uninstallation!

This nifty new feature, currently in development, promises seamless app removal from any connected Android device directly from your smartphone. Whether it's a space-hogging game on your Google TV or a forgotten fitness app on your Wear OS watch, you'll be able to banish them with a few taps.

How to channel your inner app-banishing warrior:

    1. Head to the "Manage" tab in the Play Store's "Manage apps and devices" section.
    1. Tap "✓ This device" to unveil a list of all your connected Android buddies.
    1. Choose your target device, and voilà! The Play Store reveals its installed app roster.
    1. Select the unwanted apps and hit the delete button. Play Store politely confirms your decision before waving goodbye to those digital dust-gatherers.

Bonus features in beta:

    • Unleash the sorting power: Organize your connected device apps by name or size to easily identify space hogs and forgotten friends.
    • System app glimpse (but don't touch): The app list currently shows both user and system apps, though whispers suggest users won't be able to uninstall the latter (for good reason!).

Not quite ready for prime time:

This nifty feature is still under development, meaning it's not available to everyone just yet. Google hasn't officially announced a release date, so patience is key (and maybe keep a mental list of apps you're eager to zap!).

Get ready to reclaim control of your connected Android universe with the Play Store's remote app uninstallation superpower! Stay tuned for the official launch, and prepare to bid farewell to unwanted digital baggage with ease.
