Unclick

In computer interface design, to unclick is to deselect a specific preference,[2][3] typically by tapping a selected checkbox with a finger or cursor.

As a result, the check mark image or dark circle inside the box is removed.

As the Internet becomes an increasingly popular medium for marketers, vendors and marketers often presume that a user will prefer certain choices,[4][5] such as receiving emails in the future, having specific computer settings, or preferring that specific programs will be operational when a computer is turned on.

[9] According to behavioral economics, computer and Internet users have a general tendency to go along with a default setting.

It has also been used in the context of guns, in which a safety catch is "unclicked",[15] or flooring materials in which pieces are interlocked,[16] The term has been used to describe the act of answering a cell phone by pressing on a button when it is ringing.
