Yomo Launcher became popular on some Android phones, especially the ones given out through government schemes. It looked like a fun way to change wallpapers and give your phone a fresh look. But for many users, the excitement didn’t last long.
A lot of people are unhappy with how the app works. One of the biggest problems is that it doesn’t let you set it as the default launcher properly. So, every time you try to use it, it keeps going in circles and doesn’t really work as expected. That means you can’t even use its main feature — changing wallpapers — the way you want to.
Even when it does work, the wallpaper choices are limited, and sometimes the changes don’t stay. Plus, many users have noticed their phones becoming slower after installing the app. Some have even had to deal with random crashes and annoying ads popping up.
The saddest and most frustrating part is that there’s no proper way to uninstall the app in some cases. The uninstall button is greyed out, and you simply can’t remove it like you would with other apps. It’s like the app is stuck on your phone, and that just adds to the headache.
If you’re tired of dealing with all this, the best thing to do might be to just uninstall Yomo Launcher — if your phone allows it. Don’t worry, it’s easy when the option is available, and your phone will still work fine after you remove it. In fact, your phone might even work better without it.
QUICK ANSWER: Go to Settings > Apps, tap Yomo Launcher, then hit Open by default and Clear default preferences. Now go to Default Apps > Home App, set a different launcher, then long-press the Yomo Launcher icon and tap Uninstall.
