How does smart world get installed into a phone

[Android Central Question]

I am seeing that there are connected devices including my phone and I want them uninstalled

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? SmartWorld is an LG app/service, and was probably preinstalled on your phone. It might not be uninstallable.

If you go to app list and tap on it , does it give option to Uninstall?

Smart World is okay...a good app, in fact. Don’t blame it for whatever is worrying you.

I just got a new lg premier pro lte and I am unable to download smartworld to it. Why is it saying that it is not supported by this. I feel it is totally unfair because it is a LG phone

Hi, welcome to AC!

Lg is out of the phone market and probably most of their support along with it , now your issue it fails to download ? Or not showing up in play store?

Welcome to Android Central! See if you can download the apk from this site: https://us.lgworld.com/store/mobile...dev?sendDirectFlag=Y&country=US|EN&stayHome=Y

It probably was at some point, then got removed maybe because it lost support or got deprecated. I have no idea if the apk on that website still works or not -- maybe the servers don't even work any more.

I really wish that is any way for me to downloader it to my lg Journey phone. Yes I want but to my old phone with the same problem. Someone really need to make apk that will work on all LG PHONE to help people that still own LG PHONES

It looks like SmartWorld is almost shut down anyway: https://www.reddit.com/r/LGV60/comments/nz2yqi/lg_smaetworld_shutting_down/
