Thanks for the reply.
For question 1>There is no such option for that in dialer app.
For question 6 and 7 I have disabled them both.
As for other questions I don't think they are device dependent.

2)YouTube: How to set YouTube app to not play videos when I click on the thumbnails. I want videos to be stopped because sometimes I would like to read comments before playing videos. If it cannot be done please suggest me an app that does this(it should be ad free in app).

I don't think there's a way to prevent that. You can turn off auto-play for the next video in a playlist, and you can turn off auto-play in your main YouTube feed, but tapping a video thumbnail will always make it start. It's unlikely that there's a legitimate 3rd party solution, since that would probably violate YouTube's terms of service.

5)Message app: How to customise swipe actions in message app? I would like to delete message on right swipe and mark as read on left swipe.

Are you using the stock LG messaging app? The stock apps typically don't have features like this. You could try a 3rd party SMS app like Textra.

6)Gmail app: How to disable this app. I don't want it to work in background since I am using Outlook app there is no need for Gmail app.

Go to Settings>Apps, select Gmail, then Disable.

7)Pre-installed apps: How to uninstall pre-installed apps such as News?

Most preinstalled bloatware can't be removed unless you root the phone. At best, you might be able to Disable them (which reverts the app back to its factory version and then prevents it from opening into RAM or updating again). Go to Settings>Apps, select the app, and see if there's a Disable button there.

8)Camera: Colours in camera are too bright and over saturated and show too much of colour. How to adjust these parameters? If it cannot be done please suggest me an app that allows me to do that.

Do they only look oversaturated on the phone screen, or also when you view them elsewhere? Are there any settings in the Camera's menu that might help, like filters, or HDR modes?

 

[KKVinayKumar]

since that would probably violate YouTube's terms of service.

Why would stopping the video from playing will violate YouTube's terms of service? Its funny.

Are you using the stock LG messaging app?

Yes, I am using stock app that comes with Android Pie.

Do they only look oversaturated on the phone screen, or also when you view them elsewhere? Are there any settings in the Camera's menu that might help, like filters, or HDR modes?

Yes, they do look over-saturated every where even in PC.

There is not such option present in the app. LG hasn't customised anything in this phone as I have said earlier this phone comes with stop Android Pie.

What I mean is that a 3rd party app would likely be one that also shows the videos, which would violate the terms of service. My guess is that Google also doesn't want any developers to be tinkering with YouTube's inner workings, adding any sort of "plug-in."

In that case, try one of the 3rd party contact apps mentioned in the article.

Then how come Windows Phone's MyTube used to do that? It would not play until I press the play button. I wanted something similar.

 

[B. Diddy]

Hmm, well, it looks like there are a number of 3rd party YouTube "wrapper" apps in the Play Store, so maybe that might be an option (I was thinking more of an app that actually shows the native video as violating the terms of service, not ones that essentially repackage the website). All YouTube apps for Windows Phone were wrapper apps -- i.e., they were just modified versions of the web version of YouTube. So you could try out the various wrappers available for YouTube in the Play Store and see if you can find one with that feature. Sorry, I don't know of any one in particular.

This might be one to start with: Fast Tube

Ok, I have installed and have tried the app. It does what I wanted it to do. Thanks for the suggestion.

Oh! Really I didn't knew that.
