How to Disable ANY Bloatware App on Your Android Device (No Root Required)
LET'S START :=
tep 1: Knock Out the Prerequisites
For this one to work, you'll need to enable "USB DEBUG" on your Android device, and you'll also have to install the ADB drivers on your Windows PC. To begin, head to your phone or tablet's Settings menu, then scroll down and select "About phone." From here, tap the "Build number" entry 7 times in rapid succession to enable a hidden menu.
Next, back out one level, then head to the newly-unlocked "Developer options" menu. From here, toggle the switch next to the "USB debugging" option, then press "OK" on the popup.
Step 2: Install Debloater With the prerequisites out of the way, head to this link from your Windows PC to download Gatesjunior's Debloater program. When the file has finished downloading, go ahead and launch it, then click "Run."
From here, just follow the prompts, and Debloater will be installed on your compute
Step 3: Disable Any App on Your Android Device
With Debloater installed on your PC, go ahead launch the program, then connect your Android device to your computer with a USB data cable. From here, click the "Read Device Packages" button in the top-left corner to begin.
Note that you may need to allow your computer to access your phone if this is the first time you've allowed USB debugging—this is done through a pop-up prompt on your phone.
At this point, Debloater will issue a disclaimer which lets you know that disabling certain apps can cause issues with your Android device. As this varies from device to device, there's no set list of which apps you can and can't disable, so you'll have to use a little discretion. As a general rule of thumb, I'd say if an app is not in your app drawer, it would be best to leave it alone.
After clicking "OK" on the disclaimer, go ahead and click the "Read Device Packages" button in the top-left corner again.
This will populate a list of all the apps that are installed on your phone or tablet. Note that some of these apps don't have a common name, but you can generally tell which apps are which by reading the package name in the right column
To disable an app, simply check the box next to its entry. You can select multiple apps here, so choose any that you would like to disable, then click the "Apply" button in the top-left corner.
At this point, Debloater will work its magic, and the apps you selected will be disabled. If you look at your phone now, you'll notice that all traces of the apps are gone
Step 4: Re-Enable Apps That You've Disabled (Optional)
Should you decide that you'd like to re-enable an app that you've disabled using Debloater, it's a really simple process. Just hook your phone back up to your PC, then click the "Read Device Packages" button again.
From here, simply uncheck the box next to any disabled app that you'd like to re-enable, then click the "Apply" button at the top of the screen
Debloater will execute the commands, and you'll immediately be able to use the selected apps again.
