Revoking Apps
Revoking apps and reassigning them to other users saves your organization money by reducing the need to pay for new apps. To revoke one or more specific apps from users, you remove the app(s) from the VPP assignment. To revoke all the apps in a VPP assignment from one or more users, you remove the user(s) from the scope of the VPP assignment. Apps that have been revoked can be reassigned to other users when needed.
Users are notified on their device when an app is no longer assigned to them. The app may or may not be removed from their device. If an app is not removed from the user’s device, it can be removed by an administrator.
