Revoking access rights to FRITZ!Box from a mobile device
You can easily revoke the rights to access your FRITZ!Box from the FRITZ!Apps installed on your mobile device by uninstalling the apps.
However, if the mobile device has been stolen or lost and it is no longer possible to uninstall the FRITZ!Apps, proceed as described in this guide to revoke the apps' rights to access your FRITZ!Box.
In this case we also recommend changing the Wi-Fi network key of the FRITZ!Box and deleting VPN connections configured for the mobile device in the FRITZ!Box.

Note:FRITZ!Apps that are not displayed here do not have any rights to access the FRITZ!Box.
