MacroDroid disappeared from smartphone

Hi all,

About a year ago, I installed MacroDroid on my fathers smartphone with some macro's for his safety when he goes out bike-riding all alone (he is 84 years old).
Recently he told me that MacroDroid has 'disappeared' from his smartphone. And he 'did nothing' ......
Indeed, MacroDroid was not installed on his smartphone anymore so I re-installed it. But also the ADB-hack was gone ....
How could this happen?
I did perform an Android system software upgrade in the last year. Could this have caused the uninstalling of MacroDroid?

Probably your father deleted the app by long tapping and tapping upper right x immediately without any consciousness.
Old guys tend to do that, and always say "I don't know." as my parents do.
Yes, that is possible.
But would this also remove the ADB hack? Maybe the Android update removed that ...
Anyway, I will just create the hack again and somehow get the macro's from my smartphone onto his. Last time I sent them via WhatsApp.

Uninstalling the app will certainly remove the ADB hack and it will need to be re-applied when installed again.
