Taboola is a tool that shows different suggestions for content on websites and apps, particularly ads.
Big news sites and businesses use this to get more people to visit their sites and earn more money.
But some people might find it bothersome to constantly see these suggestions popping up.
If you are one of those people, you can easily get rid of the Taboola News app from your Android phone with just a few simple steps.
In this guide, I’ll show you how to do it.
How to disable Taboola news on Android phone
If you want to remove Taboola News from your device, you can do it in two ways.
The first is to uninstall the app completely.
The second way is to disable the service by changing the settings on your device.
I had this problem a couple of months ago, and I was able to solve it on my own phone.
I found that some apps can be tricky to remove on Android devices, but don’t worry, the steps I outline below should work for most users who want to remove Taboola News.
To get rid of the Taboola Android app from your phone, follow these steps:
- Open your phone’s settings and click on “Apps.”
- Look for the “Manage Apps” option and tap on it.
- In the list of apps, find Taboola Android and tap on it.
- To temporarily disable the app or completely remove it from your phone, click on its icon. Remember that you can always re-enable the app if you need it later on.
- To delete any associated files and make sure you’ve completely removed all traces of Taboola News from your device, select the “Clear Data” option from the drop-down menu for Taboola Android.
- If you want to keep using the app’s features but remove the program itself, you’ll need to go a step further. In the Taboola Android folder, select both the “Clear Cache” and “Clear Data” options.
- Finally, you’ll be asked to confirm if you want to delete Taboola News or not. If you’re sure you want to permanently remove it from your device, tap on “Uninstall.”
