Android Tip: Uninstall apps you don’t need in your phone!

Most Android phones come with a bunch of preinstalled apps. Many will be welcomed by nearly everyone including maps, email, browser, and so on, but there are undoubtedly some you don’t want or need.

For example, if you’re just not a podcast person, you don’t need a podcast app. And phone vendors tend to include a bunch of their own apps that you may never need to use.

To get rid of those unwanted apps, simply long-press an app’s icon and then select the ‘i’ entry to get to its detail page, where you can uninstall it. However, some custom skins give you a direct option to do that, such as Realme UI and MIUI.

Unfortunately, there are some stock apps you cannot uninstall. For example, if you only use Firefox or Edge as your web browser, you still can’t uninstall Google’s Chrome browser.

For those apps, you can at least choose Disable, which will hide them from the interface and free up system resources. By doing this, It will not only stop the notification from those apps but also improve the battery life of your device.
