How to delete pre-installed apps on Samsung Galaxy S21

This is due to the fact that the software is developed by the creators of the smartphone and its uninstallation could cause serious crashes in the operation of the device. If that doesn't stop you, choose one of the two options.


Disable system apps

  2. Open the apps section.
  3. Choose the program.
  4. Press the «Force stop» button.

How to uninstall pre-installed apps on Samsung Galaxy S21

  1. Download Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to your computer.
  2. Using Play Store, download App Inspector on your phone.
  3. Connect the Samsung Galaxy S21 to the PC.
  4. Unzip the ADB archive to the root folder of the disk.
  5. Start the command line with administrator rights.
  6. Process the "cd c: / adb", "adb devices", "adb shell" requests by pressing the "Enter" button after entering each of them.
  7. Open App Inspector on your smartphone.
