Taboola News is a popular news app that provides personalized news articles based on the user’s interests. While it may be a useful tool for some, others may find it intrusive or unnecessary. If you are one such individual looking to remove Taboola News from your Android phone, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process.
Step 1: Accessing the Settings Menu
To begin, locate the Settings app on your Android phone. It is usually represented by a gear-shaped icon and can be found either on the home screen or in the app drawer. Tap on the icon to access the settings.
Step 2: Finding the Apps (or Applications) Menu
Once in the Settings menu, scroll through the options until you find the “Apps” (or “Applications”) option. The name may vary slightly depending on the Android version and the device manufacturer. Tap on it to proceed.
Step 3: Locating Taboola News
In the Apps menu, you will find a list of all the applications installed on your Android device. Scroll through the list until you find “Taboola News.” Tap on it to access the specific settings for this app.
Step 4: Clearing Cache (Optional)
If you want to completely remove any trace of Taboola News from your Android phone, you can start by clearing the cache. This will delete any temporary files associated with the app and free up storage space. To do this, tap on the “Storage” option within the Taboola News settings and select the “Clear Cache” button.
Step 5: Uninstalling Taboola News
To remove the app entirely from your Android phone, tap on the “Uninstall” button within the Taboola News settings. You will be prompted to confirm your action, and once confirmed, the app will be uninstalled from your device.
Step 6: Additional Steps (if necessary)
In some cases, simply uninstalling the app may not be enough, as residual files or shortcuts could still remain. To ensure complete removal, you may need to take additional steps. Return to the Apps menu, and look for any remaining Taboola-related items, such as widgets or shortcuts. Remove these by tapping on them and selecting the appropriate options, such as “Disable” or “Remove.”
Step 7: Restarting the Phone
After completing the above steps, it is always recommended to restart your Android phone. This will refresh the system and ensure that any changes made take effect properly.
Congratulations! You have successfully removed Taboola News from your Android phone.
To note, removing the app will eliminate all personalized news recommendations provided by Taboola News. If you still desire a news app, there are numerous alternative news apps available on the Google Play Store for you to explore and find the one that suits your needs and preferences.
Remember, the process described above may vary slightly depending on the Android version and device manufacturer. However, the general concept of accessing app settings and uninstalling an application should remain consistent.
