apps uninstalling automatically

[Frank Kiehner]

I am having issues with apps vanishing on their own. When I go to the play store to find them again, I get the install option which tells me that they have been uninstalled. I have not done this manually so something is going on that is causing this to happen all by itself. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Could it be someone deleting them on you?

Welcome to Android Central! Can you give an example of an app that's doing this? Also, is there a Smart Cleaner app on the phone? I recall on other LG phones, this preinstalled app can be set to uninstall rarely used apps after a certain period of time.

That is exactly what was happening. I thought it was cleaning apps that were in memory, not rarely used apps. Guess I won't be using that option any more!!!
Thanks for the help!

Glad you figured it out! Over the years, I've found that anything labeled "Smart" often isn't.
