How To Easily Get Rid Of Unwanted Bloatware

If you just acquired a new smartphone, chances are that it comes with its own applications have been preinstalled. These are commonly known as “Bloatware” but I prefer to call them “Junkware” because most of them can be useless and annoying. Not only do they just waste storage space, but they tend to run in the background even though they are not in use, thus burning data and battery life. And the most infuriating thing about them is that they cannot be deleted or removed from the phone. They’ve just been shoved down our throats by the phone’s manufacturers and even Google.

However, there’s a way to limit their power over your device to stop them from hogging your data and memory – Disable them. How can you do that?

How to disable bloatwares

STEP 1
Head over to your phone’s Settings and scroll down to Apps and tap on it.

STEP 2
At the apps settings you will see all the apps on your phone in ascending or descending order. Select the apps you are definitely sure is a bloatware you don’t want (they are the apps you never downloaded if you aren’t sure which is a bloatware, but be careful you don’t pick an app that is useful to the system).

STEP 3
Now you will be taken into the selected app’s setting where you will find the disable button. Hit on it.

After performing all these tasks, the app will no longer be visable on your phone. This does not mean that the app has been deleted, it has only been rendered useless so as not to appear when you are using your phone. But if you later change your mind to have it back, you can always go back to the setting and tap the same button again to restore it.
