How do I remove an unwanted app

mrjabush — Thu, 26 Dec 2024 22:20:21 GMT

I added the "Where's Santa?" app to my Sky Q Apps menu. The icon shows near the end of the "Featured" icons and first in the "New in" icons. How can I remove this app please? Failing that, can it be hidden or moved?

You can neither add nor remove Apps from Sky Q

You can't add/remove apps, but Sky will remove the app soon now as Santa's work is done for this year.

I've got this issue myself. .....

to make clear: in Under Sky Q : /Home /Apps you will see Featured Apps (preloaded by Sky)

and "New In"

If you select "New in" it gets "added" to "Featued".....

I feel the same, I don't want Apps clogging up my Featured which I don't use.

Hi @WonderWabbit+Ste I virtually never use the Apps menu, but simply use the Home screen which presents the Apps by last used.

Same. I never scrolled down the home page that far before. Voice is probably still the easiest I guess.
