Nowadays, almost all Android smartphones come with a custom skin. Due to its custom UI, we can find a lot of third-party apps commonly known as Bloatware. For this reason, uninstalling system apps without root is one of many smartphone users’ most complex and challenging tasks. Here we are to learn how to remove Bloatware Android in different possible methods.
Removing bloatware android without root is challenging because of the technical part. Also, we have the smartphone company provide such apps as pre-installed to get money for the app developer. It’s just like a paid promotion from the app developers by the smartphone company.
Okay, if you are getting worried and feeling painful experiences in your daily life with a lot of pre-installed Bloatware that is useless, then I am with you. Similarly, I have apps that make no sense to our smartphones but only consume our RAM, which downs the performance.
How to Remove Bloatware Android?

Method 1: Remove System Apps Without Root (Samsung, Oppo, and Vivo)
Although disabling the apps is one of the options to remove system apps without root, we can’t be able to disable the majority of the system apps due to the restrictions done by the manufacturer.
So, the ADB method is the effective method that I got to remove Vivo bloatware, remove Oppo bloatware, and delete Samsung bloatware. The ADB uninstall system app method works 100% for every smartphone.
I am giving this tutorial for the Oppo, Vivo, and Samsung Devices Only. For other devices, the steps may be quite different. So, I suggest you not go for this tutorial on other devices.
Requirements for ADB Uninstall System App Method
- PC or Laptop Running on any Windows, Linux, or macOS
- Suitable USB Cable
- ADB Program as per your PC OS
- USB Driver as per your Smartphone Company (Like, Vivo Driver for Vivo)
- Works on: Oppo, Vivo, and Samsung
Steps I -Downloading ADB, Enabling the USB Debugging
Install the USB Driver on your Laptop or PC. You can install the USB Driver on your PC as per your smartphone. You must download and install the Oppo Driver if your target is to remove Oppo bloatware.
Download ADB Driver on your PC. Download the ADB Zip file, and extract it.
- Enable the Developer option on your Phone. You must enable the USB Debugging Settings on your Phone (Oppo, Vivo, and Samsung). You go to Settings>About Phone/ Device>Build Number. You must tap seven times continuously until it shows the message “Developer options have been enabled.”
- Enable the USB Debugging Option. Go to the About Phone and enable the USB Debugging option.
DOWNLOAD ADB
Steps II – Connecting the Phones via ADB on PC
- Connect your (Oppo, Vivo, or Samsung) phone with the PC. You have to connect your phones via USB cable to the PC.
- Change the connection mode to the File Transfer (MTP) from the pop-up shown on your smartphone screen suddenly after connecting.
- Go to the folder on your PC where you have extracted the ADB Files. Hold the Shift Key and do a right-click anywhere over the screen. You will get a new option to choose from. So, click on “Open PowerShell Window Here.” In terms of macOS, you have to open the Terminal.
- At first, press the Shift key and then right-click on anywhere on the screen
- Type the command “ADB devices” on the PowerShell window.
- This method helps in connecting your device to the PC in PowerShell. After these steps, the PowerShell will show the serial number o your phone, the status of the connection, etc.
- If the PowerShell doesn’t show your Phone’s serial number and other information, then you have to make sure you have turned on the USB Debugging settings on your Phone. If not, follow Steps -II Again.
Steps III – ADB Uninstall System App
- Type “ADB shell” on PowerShell. This will take you to the ADB Shell option.
- To remove Bloatware on Android, you must type or copy the command as per the apps.
- Command formulae, pm uninstall -k –user 0 <package name of the app>
- For Example, if you are willing to remove the Music App from your Oppo Device, then it must have found the Package Name of that App. The package name of the Oppo Music App is “com. oppo. music“
- So, to remove the oppo music app, you must type or enter “pm uninstall -k –user 0 com. oppo. music”
