as hard as it already is to even FIND these sneaky aps that wont let you uninstall them....there should be laws passed that force all phone makers to build in the phones the ability for phone owner to uninstall what ever they dont want...ALL aps need to be LISTED in settings and made uninstallable. there should not be all this huge hassle to fid them AND not be able to EASILY get rid of them...with just a few clicks

It's strange, very strange how the EU has managed to pass a law supposedly for our benefit over charger cables. But they stubbornly refuse to change how manufactures and android/google are allowed to load our property - the phone - with stuff we really don't need. It would be like a car manufacturer making the braking system use the same power cable that supplies the radio, and then having the radio on all the time playing the world's worst station at a high volume. You can't turn the radio down or off because the brakes use the same supply. That seems to be how they're developing essential apps on the phone, so supposedly now, the google store app is essential to run: the camera, the health system, the speech system and a whole other bunch of stuff supposedly needs the google app. Wrong wrong wrong. Why do we accept this? And apps that we can't remove permissions from. Going back to camera app. It needs bluetooth just in case you want to use a bluetooth microphone. But how many people actually ever will use a bluetooth microphone when using a smartphone for video? 0.0001% maybe. But the camera won't work without bluetooth permission. It's all a con, a scam, and we need politicians that are both tech savvy, and not on the take to make google etc stop doing all this stuff

@@garytownsend5462I try to remove Mi player from my Redmi. Redmi is a lot cheaper than other similar phones. And I assume that using such apps which shove adds down my throat is the key for being cheaper. Is like facebook, free, but insanely bloated with ads. So, if legislators will force them to sell clean phones I assume that they will need to raise the price, or find other trick to shove ads.

Literally over half the memory on my phone is taken up by unremovable apps (none of which show up when I go to Settings -> Biometrics and Security -> Other security settings -> Device admin apps, as you suggested), and almost the other half is taken up by system apps. My android is only a couple years old, and its memory is completely compromised by things I don't want, didn't add, and can't uninstall...

@ElaineGarcia-uo8qj 20 дней назад

Grrr... same here. Want to free up memory space by app deletion. I'm expirementing with different techniques. Today I plugged phone into USB port of computer by cable. I opened " internal storage" of my phone. Saw the folders. Copied onto flash drive. Now from flash drive I saw all the folders...and am wondering, if I delete the ones that sound like apps I don't want, will that delete the apps?

Everybody has a video that shows how to disable a bloatware app. But nobody addresses the issue of "Disabling this app may cause your phone to not work right or misbehave." And it will, I have tried. It's like telling somebody they can put their car in reverse and just back up. But not tell you what to do if there is something in the pathway behind the car.

@mikkveere1409 10 месяцев назад

This is why we need completely new devices or completely new software, that is clean. If they will not allow us to use google or youtube, then we need to make new platforms and start copying info from google to the new system. A lot of work, but in sake of freedom it has to be done. To take power away from those slavers.

But, the one who put out the money for the phone, owns it. And that person is responsible for it. Since I paid for my phone with my money, I should be able to remove any vital system app I want. I can shower every morning with my phone (sorry for that visual lol) and keep it perfectly clean too. It's a combination of buyer beware and "I can do whatever I want with my property, and if I destroy it? Well that's my problem." Just my opinion of course. Once my money has traded hands for something, I own it. Samsung probably informed me, somewhere in all that fine print that I very carefully didn't read, that there are certain apps I may not remove. If that's the case, then I can always start shopping around for manufacturers that will let me be more of the control-freak dictator of my mobile device that I believe is part of my right of ownership. Or one of these days I might finally learn how to root a phone. Or maybe just say "screw it all" and get a landline and pick up a novel and a hobby.

@Rick-if5zb Месяц назад

@@TCBElvisAPresley Has anyone ever told you that you've lost your friggin mind? It all seems to be about "The Lie" now days and the government wants to control every aspect of your life. You can never have control over anything because when you do get control over something then the powers that be (the government) finds out they make it illegal to do. Enjoy the new revolution in life where your life isn't your own to rule over. Sit down and make 2 lists. One list is of the things you can do without government rules, and the second list of things that happen when you do the things that don't have a government rule over it. Take for instance watch a tv program (or movie) and think about it... Your choice? But it's in a home (house) on property that you only think you own. Property that has been in your family for decades upon decades, however, miss your property tax one time and you'll see exactly who owns that property.

Didn't see any link close to what you mentioned in the post for removal of apps that cant be removed normally. I disable the trash apps, like the ones that Android no longer uses, and occasionally find them updating themselves. A waste of space and install data. Android customer support only responds, "its more than likely an app your phone uses and needs". That's it...

So, I double checked by searching the app on my device, and it said, "there is no app named 'app name' " So when it stated that there wasn't 'app name' in the command prompt on my pc, I guess it wasn't wrong!! 😂 P.S., in my own words, this would be, "Error: Success!" 🤣 (Edit to add to comment): Sorry if you saw my Shetland Pony, I found it at the subscribe button *cough cough* , but don't worry I brought her back to the house!! 🐎🏠😆
