What exactly do you expect us to do lol? Sneak into TM Roh's bedroom and whisper that in his ear?
Dinner first
finally, great to see some reviewers thinking outside the box for one (/s)
It's always good to keep in mind that one app might be considered bloatware for one person, while it might not be for another person. Bloatware is subjective.
Facebook?
I consider it bloatware, but it's convenient for the more casual users I know who don't even install apps. Not a good reason to make them system apps that can't be uninstalled though.
Agreed but in my opinion only what's essential should be pre-installed everything else should be optional to install and definitely can be uninstalled easily.
I believe even the essential apps should be uninstallable (the messaging app, the dialer, the browser, etc...)
Depending on your carrier much of that could have been added by them.
Which device are you using? I find it's much better in recent years to the point that I don't take notice anymore (other than Facebook stuff).
IPhone. I was using Samsung s23 but then sold it after checking my DNS logs
Luckily, Universal Android Debloater works like a charm. I mean, it is a bit annoying that you even run it in the first place, but it's mostly a one-time thing so I'm not complaining anymore.
I have bought a pine64. I can do most of the stuff using the browser like banking etc other than that calls, text, calculator works fine.
Really good for you!
