First off, it is done to keep its user engrossed only in its offering (if Samsung has its own Notes app, then you wouldn’t go an extra mile in downloading Google Keep). Secondly, it is due to the profit aspect- as they would earn a few additional bucks by shipping third-party apps (such as Facebook). But from users’ point of view, it doesn’t translate to the best usage experience as it would only end up bloating their device. In this regard, one general course of action is to simply uninstall these pre-installed. However, that isn’t possible, as the OEMs treat such apps as system apps and you wouldn’t be able to remove them the normal way aka via the Settings menu. But fret not. There exist another nifty method through which you could easily debloat and remove bloatware from your Samsung Galaxy S22/Plus/Ultra device. And in this guide, we will help you with just that. Follow along.
