# New AppUninstall mutation to allow apps to uninstall themselves.

Third-party apps can now uninstall themselves from merchant stores using a new public AppUninstall GraphQL mutation.

The mutation serves as a GraphQL equivalent to the existing [REST endpoint for app uninstallation](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/authentication-authorization/app-installation/uninstall-app-api-request#examples).

For implementation details and examples, please refer to our [API documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/mutations/appuninstall).
