How to get rid of unwanted apps on your phone-

You must go to the device settings to eliminate or disable bloatware. Android users can access the Settings app via the app drawer or by tapping the gear icon that appears after swiping down the notification once or twice (depending on the phone).

Follow the below steps to remove bloatware:

  1. 1st step is to go to the device’s ‘Settings’ menu, find and click on ‘Apps’.
  1. On newer Android phones, there will be a ‘See all applications’ option, which when tapped will reveal a list of all apps installed on the phone.
  2. When your phone has finished listing all loaded apps, scroll down or use the search option on the top right to pick the one you want.
  3. If you can’t see system apps, hit the three-dot menu button in the top right corner of the screen and select the ‘Show system apps’ option.
  4. After that, tap on the one you wish to remove and a new screen will display where you may delete or disable the app.
  5. If you can’t uninstall a program, try pressing the ‘disable’ button. This will cause the program to freeze and stop executing in the background.
  6. If you are unable to disable or uninstall the program from your device, the manufacturer has most likely installed it as a system app, making it difficult to remove. If this is the case, you may need to use third-party programs to uninstall it.
