Hello, I am creating an app that is for users to view, but not to have write privileges. How do I remove edit from the app screens ?

Can you clarify where you are seeing the edit option with some screenshots? It all depends on where you see it. Usually it’s part of the title component on the detail screen that people miss. But there could also be additional buttons, or collections with editing enabled, or data grids that allow editing, or entry components placed directly on a detail screen. Some screenshots will help us point you in the right direction.

It’s this section of the different tabs where the edit button is on each tab and people can edit my data if they are using the app

That’s in the title component. Select the title component in the lower panel in the builder. Then look for actions in the right hand panel and remove the edit action.
