I just discovered this amazing app! It lets you remove (or just disable) preinstalled apps like Facebook, Netflix, etc. and system apps like samsung knox apps, diagnostic, bixby, and even One UI (but you must have installed other launcher). You can’t brick your device, worst case it falls into a boot loop and after 5 reboots it will factory reset.
Debloating your device will make it faster, more private and more secure (less atack surface).
I mean pixel doesn’t, and they’re unlockable and rootable from day 1.
Idk, the Google apps technically are bloatware installed by the manufacturer, too.
And you can root and install a custom ROM day 1.
Which is something I’d expect people who visit this community to do anyway, so fair enough.
Still though, call me a purist for saying that, but Google takes AOSP and puts their own apps on top, that’s technically bloatware imo.
To be fair, Googles’ apps are actually useful at least. Can’t say that about the stuff some other manufacturers preinstall.
