Short answer
Uninstall rate is the share of users who delete an app within a given period. It is often measured by sending silent push notifications and detecting devices where delivery fails. A high uninstall rate can signal poor onboarding, low-quality traffic from campaigns, or excessive notifications, and it reduces the return on acquisition spend.
