Detecting Uninstalls via Notification Services
Advertising SDKs send background silent push notifications to the device that are invisible to the user. When the Google or Apple server returns an error stating the app token is unavailable, the analytics platform logs the uninstallation event and links it to the user's ad profile.
How to Wipe Software Hardware Bindings
- Clear app cache and data in the OS settings before uninstalling.
- Reset the device's advertising ID in privacy settings after removal.
- Reboot the device to clear temporary RAM partitions and system sockets.
- Restrict remaining apps' permissions to read connected Bluetooth and Wi-Fi network data.
