Bloatware is on the Android or iOS operating system. Not only smartphone manufacturers who embed the default application, Google also forced the application made, for example Duo, Play Music, Play Movies, and others. Apple also contains a number of applications that cannot be removed, including Stocks, Weather and Map.
Some may actually be useful, but most will never be used. Manufacturers add it in the hope that you will like it and do not want to switch to other manufacturers.
You can find a number of applications that cannot be removed from third parties or manufacturers to include on your device, such as music, film, or antimalware applications.
Most of these applications are free, but some offer free trial periods so that the subscription is paid afterwards.
If asked why the manufacturer installed the bloatware, maybe they will refer to the application as added value from the device. Although actually, the manufacturer installed it because they worked with the company that made it.
Remove application
There are several tips so that you can delete, deactivate, or at least hide applications and bloatware that have been previously installed.
By removing applications that are not needed, you will be able to improve your phone's performance and expand storage space.
To get rid of annoying bloatware, you basically have two options, namely disabling or uninstalling. Both have pros and cons, but what's the difference?
Removing bloatware is a risky step because it completely deletes files from your device.
Although this is the best way to ensure that the application will not interfere anymore. This action can cause further problems on the phone if some of the files are apparently needed by the system.
Meanwhile, disabling bloatware is far more risk free. This will ensure that the application does not eat RAM by operating in the background, but the application is not completely lost.
Depending on the application and device, the choice between uninstalling and deactivating certain applications might be available, maybe not.
Disable the application
Many applications continue to suck up power even if not actively used. They also consume storage space. However, since Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, there is an option to deactivate the application.
The trick, go to Settings, then to the App. Here, on most phones, you will find three tabs, namely All Apps, Disabled, and Enabled.
By tapping the application, you will see that some applications can be uninstalled. This applies to applications that you may have downloaded yourself, but there will also be bloatware that you cannot delete.
Some applications cannot be deleted or disabled. This application is very important so that Android can run well.
Applications that do not belong to one of these two categories can usually be disabled, except on protected system partitions (some manufacturers intentionally do this with their applications).
Some applications such as TalkBack can be disabled. However, there is also an option to delete an update that will reset the application to a factory reset, making it a little lighter.
If you use third-party applications for email, you can make the default email application on Android disappear.
When deactivating an application, the system warns you that some programs may not function correctly afterwards.
If you change your mind, you can go back to the application list and reverse the process. Each application will continue to be registered, even if it is not visible in the application folder.
Although the layout can vary slightly depending on the manufacturer's operating system, the process is very similar for most smartphones.
That can be frustrating when you really want to delete the application, but the system only allows you to disable it. There are ways to get complete control over your mobile software.
If you are not afraid to cancel the warranty to get rid of certain applications such as Samsung Pay or certain online banking applications, you can root the device. Then, you can delete any application.
The system application eraser (root) helps you do that. However, be careful, rooting can make a number of other applications stop functioning correctly.
