How to remove bloatware from the Samsung Galaxy S22 without root access
How to remove bloatware from the Samsung Galaxy S22 without root access
Having to deal with bloatware is never a pleasant experience. The sad part is that even the best Android phones come with pre-installed apps that you didn’t ask for. They’re often shipped by the OEMs as a result of their monetization partnerships with other brands and companies. The Samsung Galaxy S22 also comes with a bunch of apps that can’t be uninstalled. This includes the usual suspects like the Galaxy Store and My Galaxy along with duplicate apps such as Calendar, Messages, and more. In this article, we’ll show you how to remove bloatware from the Samsung Galaxy S22. While these pre-installed apps don’t cross paths with your day-to-day usage or do anything harmful, they tend to take up storage space — and sometimes even system resources — that could be used by other apps. Even when they don’t, some people just find them annoying and hard to ignore. So let’s take a look at a couple of simple steps using which you can free your shiny new $800 smartphone from the pre-loaded and ?uninstallable? bloatware. Note: You can follow the same set of instructions to uninstall bloatware on other Android smartphones too. The only things you?ll need for this are your smartphone, a PC/Mac with ADB, and a USB cable to connect your phone to your computer. How to Uninstall Bloatware from Samsung Galaxy S22 without Root Access We’ll be showing you how to remove bloatware using both ADB as well as ADB App Removal GUIs such as the “Universal Android Debloater”. Neither of these methods requires root access to your phone, so you should be able to get this done easily as long as you follow the steps carefully. Caution: Uninstalling some system apps can be dangerous and may result in force closes and malfunctions, or even a bricked device. We recommend removing only the apps that you think are absolutely unnecessary. Step 1: Enable USB Debugging on your Galaxy S22
If this sounds like a lot of work for you or if you aren’t comfortable running ADB codes, then you can also consider using an app removal GUI to remove the bloatware. One of the best things about using a GUI like the “Universal Android Debloater” is that you can also select a bunch of packages together and remove them in a single batch. You can head over to our XDA Forums’ “Universal Android Debloater” thread to download and learn more about it. It’s worth pointing out that you can also re-install the apps that you may have removed by mistake. You can head over to our bloatware removal guide to find out the steps involved in re-installing the apps. Closing thoughts Well, that brings us to the end of this tutorial. Removing bloatware from your Samsung Galaxy S22 smartphone, as you can see, is a fairly simple task if you know your way around the ADB tool. That being said, we hope OEMs allow us to get rid of these apps more easily, just like how you’d uninstall a regular app from your smartphone. If you stumbled upon this article while looking for a way to remove bloatware from any other Android phone, then you’d be happy to know that this method can be used on any smartphone regardless of the OEM or carrier. Good luck with the process and we hope you enjoy your bloatware-free Galaxy S22 as much as we did while putting together its review.
