Apps/Bloatware to Disable

[RKCoates]

Hey everyone,

I hope everyone is enjoying their Note 10! I want to ask people who are more tech savvy than myself, what apps (including system apps) are safe to remove and disable from the phone? I already took care of the big and obvious ones (Verizon auto app installer anyone?), but I'd appreciate any tips for any others to remove. Thanks!

Remove everything google. Keep samsung's superior apps.

I disabled everything with Bixby in the package name...

Im not going to lie. I disable Bixby, Facebook, Chrome, and those apps that are like Google Books, Google Music. I also disabled Linkedin. If I can connect through the internet, what do I need an app for? And its 2019, why are we still getting two browsers with our phones?

How do you disable Bixby? - DISABLE is greyed out on all the Bixby apps on my phone

Wow, thats hard core, I agree with most of them, but why do you disable the game launcher, gmail and Samsung Cloud? I mean, doesn't game launcher help with recording and stopping notifications from coming in? I use gmail since I have a gmail address, and isn't Samsung Cloud good to use or am I mistaken?

Im just taking a guess here, but either flashing it or some app like package disabler pro.

Except for the email app. It's terrible.
