Will True Caller be on the Honor 8 be removable?

Huawei phones to come with Truecaller pre-installed, starting with the Honor 8 | Android Central

Just read that. Anyone know yet if it will be removable? I certainly don't mind it being pre-installed, but, hopefully, I'm not stuck with having to use it.

I hope so.
I'm guessing it will be uninstallable.

I would think it should be. A recent review I read said that the preinstalled apps are removable.

Me h5X had a preinstalled app named "NewsRepublic" that was completely removable.
It wasn't a horrible app I just wanted to run a lean device.

I'd stay away from News Republic now that Cheetah Mobile owns it. http://forums.androidcentral.com/as...ster-s-data-collection-privacy-practices.html

Whoa I had no idea Cheetah was involved!

Even if not, you should be able to disable it, if not in the app manager, then with the debloater tool from XDA-Developers
