HOW UNINSTALL PROTECTION WORKS

Important points relating to uninstall protection:

  • The purpose of uninstall protection is to make it challenging enough to uninstall the app, that you have time to become conscious and use the training and other features we provide in REMOJO to overcome the temptation:

    • Namely: urge management techniques from Urge Manager and the in-app courses, the community, or phone lock mode

  • Uninstall protection attempts to make it challenging to uninstall the app, of course we cannot make it impossible.

  • Due to the huge number of Android and Windows devices, manufacturers and OS combinations, we cannot guarantee that this feature will work well on your given device

  • Uninstall prevention is prohibited by Google for Android 13+

  • Uninstall prevention is prohibited and impossible to deliver for iPhones due to Apple constraints and policies
