Question from @Michele1, the [original topic](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/how-to-remove-disable-on-ios-android-the-app-install-banner/90942) is closed so I’m reposting it here in order to be able to answer.

✅ **Answer** : you can simply run this, it will make Nextcloud think that the app doesn’t exist and thus it won’t display the mobile app banner anymore:

```auto
occ config:app:set theming iTunesAppId --value=""

```
