I understand that the carriers put their own apps on these phones, but I have a VZW app notification that I cannot clear. This particular VZW Caller ID Name app says I get a free 10 day trial, but I'm not interested in it. However I cannot clear it from my notifications bar across the top of the phone. I'm afraid to click on it because I'm concerned that it will activate the app automatically.
So I guess my question is, how do I disable or delete these carrier-specific apps so they don't continue running? And if I happen to click them off-handedly in the notification pull down screen, have I inadvertently activated them such that they're now part of my Note 4 "ecosystem"?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but coming from an iPhone I'm not very knowledgeable about how to personalize my new device.
Thanks.
