Uninstall apps from devices

Based on the customer server tokens, you can send the uninstall command to multiple apps on multiple devices for each customer at one time. When a device receives the command to uninstall, it removes the app immediately.

You can uninstall a single app or multiple apps at once.

It may take up to several hours to uninstall an app if a device is offline or out of service.
