How to free the smartphone from unwanted apps

If you buy a new smartphone, you often find many pre-installed apps on the device that consume storage space. With a few clicks you can remove such “bloatware”.

Bloatware is a preinstalled but unwanted software on a new mobile device or on a computer. Especially with Android smartphones take such pre-installed applications not only important internal memory away, but can also have a negative impact on working speed, battery life and even on the device security, reports the telecommunications portal “Teltarif.de”. Users should therefore literally let the air out of app-inflated smartphones.

For Android, an app uninstall is very simple: If you press longer on the respective app icon, opens a menu that offers an option to uninstall. Or a trash can icon appears on which you can drag the app. If this is not the case, navigate in the settings to the ” Apps ” point, tap the relevant application and then select ” Deactivate “. Depending on the smartphone manufacturer and app, there are also applications that can neither be uninstalled nor deactivated.
