There are thousands of app launchers available on the Play Store for Android devices. Nova Launcher is one of them that needs no introduction. Nova is one of the most popular and reliable launchers that you can blindly install on your Android smartphone. It packs tons of customization options to let users completely change the look and feel of their device. With Nova Launcher, you also get gestures support, night mode feature, option to hide apps and more.

That said, the option to uninstall apps right from the home screen is missing in the recent versions of Nova Launcher. What you get now is the ‘Remove’ and ‘App info’ option when you long-press an app icon on the homescreen. Moreover, a cross icon now appears at the top when you hold and drag app icons while on the home screen. This only lets you remove an app’s icon from the homescreen, not uninstall it.

Meanwhile, the Uninstall option is still there when uninstalling an app from the app drawer.

What if you simply want to uninstall the apps directly from your home screen when using Nova Launcher app? Well, that’s still possible even if you don’t think so.
