Good move. it's good. lot of pre-install apps are so irritating. few apps automatically updating in background. so this is the good decision

Yeah , Huawei used to have removable apps for video playback and music now with their bloated online shit attempt it's unusable bloat and unremovable ...
Real Samsung user, 16 Mar 2023The galaxy store frequently prompts us to install the junk apps and games. This muat be stopped.Specifically, its the Samsung Appcloud app that constantly nag users to install more apps. That is the first app I disable whenever I set up a Samsung phone.

Having googgle chrome and samsung brownser or MI brownser at same time is pure garbage. Same goes for many else apps which naturaly comes with android and every single UI like Alarm clocks, calendar and many else.

If I don't use it when why should it be on my phone occupying space. Maybe I use OneDrive or Dropbox, or anything else, it should be my choice what to use and what not. If you really need that app you can always install it from the store.

Simple. Essential apps can't be uninstalled, and the rest can be. Even some Google apps and Samsung apps. 🫶

I am just amazed looking at opinions of people about these apps. It's like these are useless apps only because they don't use them.
Amit05, 15 Mar 2023Man it makes me wonder if these are real people in the comments. They don't know what dri... moreNobody I know (in my contact list of around 600 people) has actually ever called me on Duo. Not vice versa either.
I have zero use for Drive as I make local backups using laptop and HDDs.
I leave it to your judgement whether this text is typed by a read person or sone AI bot :)
Again, these apps should remain on the Play Store, so that those who need them can install them instantly.
Anonymous, 15 Mar 2023You'd be out of your mind to say that duo and drive are useless apps. Maybe you're t... moreThey are NOT useless apps, but UTTERLY useless apps for me ;)
If a particular user needs them, he / she can install them from the Play Store, right?
Nothing, 15 Mar 2023Well it is a good move. You see in Mi phones for example, the clock requires permission to man... moreTrue...good point.
Anonymous, 15 Mar 2023None needs Google drive app, there's WhatsApp why need duo and there's Kiwi Browser ... moreFor whatever reason, most likely you know, data with Google, is used to make money, however, with China, it is quite possible that there is a security risk. Installing apps afterwards, apps must be fully tested to see, what date is taken, and where does it go!
Anonymous, 15 Mar 2023None needs Google drive app, there's WhatsApp why need duo and there's Kiwi Browser ... moreUnlike china, USA is our ally. They can spy us all they want.
lyy, 15 Mar 2023If this applies to Google as well, it will be very good. If it only applies to Chinese apps... moreDo you really think the ones in power care about your privacy? Not even once, because if they did then Google and Apple would be treated in the same way. It's time to stop relying on them and take matter on your own hands.
taolao, 15 Mar 2023There is not such thing as installing app in background. Probably you don't know how to u... moreThere is not such thing as installing app in background? Obviously you never noticed them because you don't know what background is! You're the one sings praise of apple and google and let them openly invade your phone!
If you had any knowledge of this app/process called "Android setup" then you wouldn't be talking like this. Once this is disabled then certain pre-installed google bloatware such as photos, duo, drive, home, TV etc etc can be prevented from being re-installed once uninstalled.
But why does a user have to find this workaround in such trial and error way and waste time? Why should these google bloatware be forced on user? Once the user has uninstalled them, he has made clear that he doesn't want them, when why are these apps being force again and again? Not everyone is technically illiterate like you who has no concern for privacy.
If this applies to Google as well, it will be very good.
If it only applies to Chinese apps, it will only strengthen Google and Apple.
Good job India 👍
