Application program uninstallation method and apparatus

摘要

An application program uninstallation method and apparatus relate to the field of communications technologies. The method includes: obtaining current location information of a terminal (101); obtaining effective location information of a first application that is already installed on the terminal, where the effective location information is used for instructing the first application to provide an effective application service when the terminal is within a geographical location range corresponding to the effective location information (102); and uninstalling, by the terminal, the first application when the current location information of the terminal does not match the effective location information of the first application (103). According to the method and the apparatus, an application program is uninstalled when a current location of a terminal does not match an effective geographical location of the application program, so that user operation and control efficiency and terminal usability are improved, and user experience is improved.
