The two things people ask about most: stopping the browser notifications, and removing the installed app. Both take under a minute, and neither one touches your account, wishlist or email alerts.

Turn browser notifications off

Browser notifications are the alerts enabled with one tap on a product page - the pop-up on this device when a watched price drops or a sold-out store restocks. No account is needed to stop them, and there are two ways.

Stop all notifications from TheTuningChoice on this device

  1. Android (Chrome): tap the padlock icon in the address bar → Permissions → Notifications → switch it off. Chrome also lists the site under Settings → Site settings → Notifications.
  2. Desktop (Chrome, Edge, Firefox): click the padlock (or the site-identity icon) in the address bar → Site settings / Permissions → set Notifications to Block.

Blocking in the browser stops every notification from this site on this device. The individual product watches stay listed until a sync notices the device is gone and clears them - nothing else changes.

Stop notifications for one product only

  1. Open the product page and find the Send Alerts for price / stock section.
  2. Pick Browser notifications - if this device already watches that product, the button under the store picker says Enabled.
  3. Tap it once to switch this device's watch for that product off. Every other product you watch keeps working.

iPhone users - this option never existed for you

Safari on iPhone does not offer browser notifications at all: Apple allows them only after a site is added to the Home Screen, and even then they behave differently from Android and desktop. So nothing was turned off on your phone - the option simply was never there. Use the Email option on any product page instead: those alerts go to a free account's email address and reach you on every device, iPhone included.

Remove the TheTuningChoice app

If the site was added to a phone or desktop as an app (from the header's Download menu), removing it is a normal uninstall - and the same instructions work for a botched removal where the browser refuses to offer the install again. The short version: the browser's own app list is the source of truth, and on Chrome that list is at chrome://apps.

Chrome on Windows, Linux or macOS

Dragging the app to the Trash/Recycle Bin removes the launcher icon only - Chrome keeps the app registered, and a registered app is never offered the install dialog again. The remove lives in Chrome's own app list:

  1. Type chrome://apps into the address bar and press Enter (you cannot click a chrome:// link - it must be typed).
  2. Find TheTuningChoice., right-click it and choose "Remove from Chrome…".
  3. Tick "Also delete data" if offered, and confirm.
  4. macOS only: open Finder → Applications (or your home folder) → the Chrome Apps folder, and drag any leftover TheTuningChoice app to the Trash.
  5. Reload the site - Download → macOS is one tap again.

Microsoft Edge (Windows)

Edge keeps its own copy of the list:

  1. Type edge://apps into the address bar and press Enter.
  2. Find TheTuningChoice., right-click it and choose "Uninstall".
  3. Tick "Also clear data from Microsoft Edge" and confirm. Also remove it from the Start menu if a tile remains.

Safari on macOS ("Add to Dock")

A Safari web app is a real (small) app - the Dock icon is the whole thing:

  1. Quit the app if it is running (right-click its Dock icon → Quit).
  2. Open Finder → Applications → TheTuningChoice, and drag it to the Trash (or right-click → "Move to Trash").
  3. Optional: Safari → Settings → Websites removes any stored permissions with it.

iPhone / iPad (Home Screen icon)

The icon is a normal web clip - deleting it is the whole uninstall:

  1. Touch and hold TheTuningChoice. on the Home Screen (the icon you added via ⋯ three dots beside the address bar, or the Share button).
  2. Tap "Remove App" → "Delete Bookmark" (wording varies slightly by iOS version).
  3. Optional: Settings → Safari → Advanced → Website Data → swipe away thetuningchoice.in.

Android

Chrome's uninstall is the launcher's:

  1. Touch and hold TheTuningChoice. on the Home Screen or in the app drawer.
  2. Tap "Uninstall" (or drag it to Uninstall) and confirm - Chrome removes the app and its registration together.
  3. Optional: Chrome → ⋮ → Settings → Site settings → All sites → thetuningchoice.in → "Clear & reset".

What removing the app does - and what it does not

Nothing here deletes your account or data on the site: the installed app is just this website in its own window, and the wishlist, alerts and settings live in your account on the server, untouched. Removing the app does stop its browser notifications on that device (they were tied to the installed app); email alerts continue unless you turn those off separately. To delete the account itself - email address, wishlist, alerts, reviews - open Account and choose delete account; that one is permanent.
