How to delete unwanted apps - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Is there any way at all without rooting that I can delete these bloatware apps? Even basic apps like facebook that I do not want, I cant uninstall.

Package disabler from play store

That just disables them which I can already do without downloading another app.

If I remember well, not all bloatwares can be disabled without Package Disabler Pro, for ex. the 2 Yahoo apps, Galaxy app, Knox related apps, Gear VR related apps, Smart Switch agent, TouchWiz related apps...

Anyway to unistall this pre-installed Facebook app for some reason they have it installed as a system app on the verizon version of the edge
You can't uninstall system apps without root. I do agree that it's silly for Verizon to install it as a system app. That said, I think they did it for two reasons: one, so it can't be uninstalled; two, to ensure facebook notifications work. In many cases, notifications from system apps work more reliably than regular apps.

Android System WebView, com.facebook.appmanager and com.facebook.system!

What is it? Can I disable them?
Why do you need to disable them?

If it do not function for anything, at least not consume RAM.
Not the Webview if you use GApps such as Play Store, etc, Facebook yes if unused
Disappointed in Sony for including com.facebook.appmanager and com.facebook.system as uninstallable components. My Z5 came with the Facebook app already installed (Customized DE firmware). I never even ran the app (I don't do facebook) - uninstalled it the second I spotted it but these two processes remain and can only be disabled, not uninstalled.
Feck off Facebook!
I deleted webview once on my old Z1, system became unresponsive.

Tks !!!
I keep a real clean phone. I don't use FB either and have it disabled. But I discovered this file or application and as fast as I would shut down and delete cache and data it would reload itself. This action alone made me suspicious of it and I wanted it off my phone or at the very least disabled. On another forum it was recommended to install "Package Disabler Pro" at a cost of $.99 and I tried it. In the notes and warnings you have to use this carefully least you make the phone unusable but I "disable" these two persistant "Facebook" files and they have not come back. My phone works fine too. Then I went after the damn Sprint/Samsung installed voicemail program that keeps wanting you to upgrade and then it had a persistant flag that kept coming up saying "We had forced upgrades too but this one is necessary". I said no to that too and with this program finally have turned it OFF.
Hope this helps.

To completely disable them ("temporary" uninstallation) use Debloater http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
or learn how to use the
Code:
pm hide
command
As suggested, i would not disable Android Webview.
Always do a BACKUP of your personal files before disabling system apps : if you are not rooted and disable the wrong package, you'll get in bootloop and will have to reset the phone.

Can't Disable User Apps?

it's been a while (years) since I've needed to do this, but I remember being able to disable user apps, like for example, Instagram or Netflix.
I'm able to disable system apps, but I want to disable apps I've installed from Play Store and other sources.
is there any way to do this without using Lucky Patcher or installing apps as a system app?
thanks!

Play store

Hello,
My play store keep changing from do not update apps to auto update on wifi.
I have several app that i keep on old version.
How can i block playstore from changing this setting automatically
Thanks for help guys
Playstore is a bloody pain.
Set to auto update to wifi only and disable wifi.
Use ApkExport to copy your apps so you have them.
exactly a real pain... always switching the setting on after set up all stuff.
looking for a solution or a workaround to disable this or disable my apps from auto update

Disable Playstore or Google Play Services (Playstore is dependent on it).
Both constantly running in the background... needed or not.
You will need Google Play Services though for Gmail and other apps occasionally during the day.
Use a firewall to block it.
Use a package disabler.
I use both...
oh thanks will do that on play store. Any good app freezer you recommend ?
For phones other than Samsung this might work:
"Owner App" version from

I figure out that the play store get default settings after each restart. So something must reset it configuration ... I need to find whom

I'm not sure what's causing that. I can package disable Playstore, firewall block it and it's settings are the same after it's enabled again.
If it's data on the phone is getting cleared on reboot that could do it... 3rd party cleaner or power management.
I don't use Playstore much and all my apps/updates are backed up for reload.
In part because you can't get older versions on Playstore (if the app doesn't disappear entirely) and because Playstore downloads are a slow, tedious pain that use up too much time when reloading.
Don't want Google's junk in my face...

Debloat/Disable System Apps
So you got your new shiny realme device but you hate bloatware or want to disable system apps so you can use 3rd party apps instead? Follow the steps below: THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT HOWEVER MAKE SURE NOT TO DISABLE IMPORTANT SYSTEM APPS. WIPE...

^ Posted in the Realme 7 forum, but it works on every phone I've used.
Search up "package name viewer" on the Google Playstore to get an app that lets you see the name of packages.
