Uninstall tracking

Learn how to set up uninstall tracking for your iOS application, so you can ensure your app doesn’t take any unwanted automatic actions upon receiving a Braze uninstall tracking push. Uninstall tracking utilizes background push notifications with a Braze flag in the payload. For general information, see [uninstall tracking][6].

Step 1: Enable background push

In your Xcode project, go to Capabilities and ensure you have Background Modes enabled. For more information, see silent push notification.

Step 2: Check for Braze background push

Braze uses background push notifications to collect uninstall tracking analytics. Ensure that your application does not take any unwanted actions upon receiving our uninstall tracking notifications.

Step 3: Test from the Braze dashboard

Next, send yourself a test push from the Braze dashboard. Keep in mind, this test push will not update your user profile.

1. On the Campaigns page, create a push notification campaign and select iOS push as your platform.
2. On the Settings page, add the key appboy_uninstall_tracking with corresponding value true and check Add Content-Available Flag.
3. Use the Preview page to send yourself a test uninstall tracking push.
4. Check that your app does not take any unwanted automatic actions upon receiving the push.

Step 4: Enable uninstall tracking

Follow the instructions for enabling uninstall tracking.
