Bloatware

[Xxx16]

Samsung has the worst bloatware I've ever seen and over half of them are not deletable so it slows galaxy devices down which is bad if you use demanding games or applications and over half of them do nothing and only take up space it would be nice if they were removed

What apps are slowing down your device which are specific to samsung? If you're not using them, I can't imagine theyre remotely affecting anything unless actively being used/ opened. Settings- apps- *app- storage- "Clear data" will delete data related to app and free up storage. Some apps you can also just disable

If you don't like the apps added by Samsung, why not go with Pixel? Unless you mean the apps which are installed as Android standard.

It depends which device you get. If you get a cheaper A series, yeah it has some bloatware, it keeps the price of the device down. Unless you blindly press yes on every ticket box, it's usually only maybe 4 apps. It's like 15 to 20 if you don't read the buttons you're pressing.

For the S series and more expensive A series, there isn't any. There are samsung apps on the device, but these are more features than bloatware. You are also free to delete them if you wish. Though honestly, having a good default set of high quality ad free apps is really nice. Also of note, 99% of the samsung own brand apps don't run in the background. They also aren't very big. Meaning they won't affect battery life.

Eg, samsung notes and my files. You don't need to go find an ad riddled notes app with micro transactions or bugs, it's already there. Don't like it? Just uninstall it

Little update, these 3 apps I would consider bloatware. I personally disable them as much as my phone will allow me

They could possibly just combine some things

[keith30]

Most of samsung apps you can't uninstall them only disable it by force stop settings. There are a nuisance but still Samsung installs them unlike Google apps which you can.

[Xxx16]

However is it possible to force delete unnecessary apps or will that cause problems

[Mikejj34]

They cause zero problems just put them into a deep sleep and job done.

[MNas04]

There are some apps that you can delete and other apps that you can't. But you can always disable them.

I battery deep sleep it, will not cause battery drain.
