Not very techie here. My android has all kind of preloaded junk apps which I have no intention of using and ignore. Should I remove them? Are they harmless or can they datamine just by their presence?

Who buys an Android phone that has Facebook preinstalled? Is that something that Samsung does? I have never had an Android phone with it preinstalled. I don’t buy Samsung phones though.

I haven’t had an Android phone in a few years but I used to root my Androids then delete the bloat ware.

Unfortunately, I have to withhold the best possible answer, given current circumstances......

Did someone ask you or are you just assuming people need to know this?

This is going to sound odd - mine just upped & disappeared!!

Android phone & poof! Gone. I don’t know how it happened & it’s not anywhere in the apps settings section.

Yep, I’ve been banned from FB for 30 days; and I still have groups on there that I admin that are NOT political in nature. I’m seeing alternatives now.

Anybody reading this - suggestions on a platform that could hold 25,000 people potentially and let us weed out those who are living in a foreign country? You guessed it, not a political group BUT these are for Americans only.

A lot of apps come pre-loaded and you can’t delete them, but you can turn some of them off.

One of the reasons I got my one+ 8. No booster and an intuitive OS
