Cannot Uninstall Mobicip Safe Browser On Android

Tags:

  • Technical Support

Sometimes you may need to uninstall Mobicip for a valid reason, like your kids growing up and not needing supervision, for instance. If you attempted to uninstall the latest (version 2.0) Mobicip Safe Browser update on Android as of the date this post is published, you may run into a problem.

You will likely be locked from uninstalling the app by default. To resolve this catch-22, follow these steps:

  1. In the device Settings > Security > Device Administrators menu, find Mobicip and disable it.
  2. In the Mobicip Safe Browser app, go to Settings > Deleting Apps and uncheck the option.

You'll then be able to uninstall the app without errors.

PS: If you're faced with a login error, please see if you can login successfully at mobicip.com. If the website login works and the app login fails, please contact support immediately. Its very likely that there was a typo in your username as registered due to which it contains at least one upper-case letter. Please contact support so we can identify and fix the problem.

NOTE: This issue has since been resolved. It is very easy to uninstall Mobicip on Android. Learn more.

Re: Hi installed Mobicip and a

Hello rosalie,
Please make sure that you have done the setup right in the device. If setup correctly, Mobicip should be the only browser available on the device. You can ensure this by following the steps outlined in the section 'General Parental Control Restrictions Setup' in this tutorial.

Sent a message about the same thing it won't let me uninstall. It is greyed out as an option. So frustrating. Would never recommend this to any one

Re: Sent a message about the same

Hello Christine
We apologize for the inconvenience caused. Go to the Settings app (the Gear icon and not Mobicip Settings) in your device > General tab > Application Manager > Mobicip > 'Uninstall'. This option can be greyed out if Mobicip restrictions is enabled in the device.
Please refer this forum post to disable this option.
 
We understand that uninstalling Mobicip is not easy but it is purposefully made so in order to avoid kids from getting rid of the app.
