How To Delete Pre-Installed Apps On Android?

To delete pre-installed apps on an Android device, follow these steps:

1. Open your device's settings app, typically accessible from the notification panel or the apps drawer.
2. Navigate to "Apps & notifications" or an equivalent section like "Apps", "Application manager", or "Apps info".
3. Find the pre-installed app you want to delete in the list of apps.
4. Tap on the app and look for an "Uninstall" button near the top.
   • If the button is available, tap it to uninstall the app.
   • If "Uninstall" is not present, you may see "Disable" instead. Tapping "Disable" will make the app inactive, although it will still reside on your device.
5. To confirm the deletion or disablement, follow the prompts as they appear.

For Android 9 or higher, you can also disable pre-installed apps by long-pressing the app icon, tapping "App info" and then choosing "Disable". Keep in mind that some pre-installed apps may not be uninstallable, especially if they are essential to the device's functionality. In such cases, you can only disable the app.

For devices with Android 11 or 12, you may be able to use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) with your PC to completely uninstall pre-installed apps, or for older Android versions, you could consider using a third-party tool like Wondershare Dr.Fone. However, these methods may require technical expertise and can void your device's warranty if not performed correctly.
