    • Go to Settings (looks like a gear). Tap on Apps.
    • Look for the Amazon app. Tap on it.
    • Tap on the “Uninstall” button. You will see an alert that your Amazon data will be deleted. This simply deletes the data the app saved on your device. Deleting the app will NOT delete your Amazon account or any of your wish lists or order history.

    • Tap “Add to Home screen”.
    • Tap “Add”. You have now created a shortcut to the AmazonSmile website. This shortcut, which appears as an icon on your homescreen, can be dragged around and placed anywhere on your phone. When you tap the shortcut, the AmazonSmile website will load in a tab on your browser app.
