Hi,

Hello friends today i am going to show you how to remove bloatwares and preinstalled applications from you android phone.

What is Bloatwares:

When you buy a new device, you expect it to come in a pristine state and work perfectly. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Devices can come with pre-installed bloatware that reduces performance and violates your privacy. In other world the bloatwares are unwanted software or software components can occupy memory, waste processing time, consume storage and cause delays at system startup and shutdown.

How to remove it:

For remove it we need some requirement like a PC, adb should be installed in your pc, a usb cable and usb debugging should be turned on of that android phone whose bloatware you want to remove.

What is adb(Android Debug Bridge) you can read here. How to install adb in your windows, mac, linux machine read here.

I am using my linux machine for this. So lets start:

For linux you can install adb by simply install scrcpy tool this tool install adb automatically in yor system, use following commnad:

~$ sudo apt install scrcpy
