Chrome App downloads itself

I keep uninstallaing the chrome app (manually deleting it from the menu) but it will randomly reinstall itself after a couple hours. My links will then open with chrome. Automatic downloads are off and safari is set as my default browser.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Hello MFML_,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Are you using another Apple device that is signed in with your Apple ID and password? If so, you need to make sure that "Automatic Downloads" is disabled on that device as well. On an iOS device, go to Settings > App Store, and switch "Automatic Downloads" to Off. On a Mac, open the App Store app > click on "Settings" in the top menu bar, and uncheck "Automatically download apps purchased on other devices".


Let us know if this helps you.


Have a great day!
