Your phone is filled with apps you don’t use. In fact, when you first bought your phone, it was probably already filled with apps that you never installed, and there’s no way to uninstall them. These apps are all sucking up data about your phone activities. It’s called “bloatware” and it’s a disaster for your privacy.
In this video:
- we explain why why minimizing the number of apps on your devices is super important
- we do a refresher on the most private phone operating system
- we look at more private apps that you can use as alternatives to the mainstream podcast, audiobook, video player apps that are collecting your data.
If you have an Android phone, it’s possible to disable any app using adb. It’s a game changer for phones with good hardware and bloated software like Samsungs. Many of the useless features are added through apps you can disable.
