Remove Bloatware Without a PC or Root - Phone-Only Method [How-to]

How to Disable Any App Without Root or a Computer

No computer, no root, no shady apps - you can now remove any bloatware app with nothing other than your phone.
Since it relies on the new Wireless Debugging feature built into Android, this method works on most Android 9 or higher devices. Some OEMs disabled it on Android 9 and 10, but all OEMs have it in their Android 11 builds.

Such a great instructional video for a technical subject. Thank you!

[@sarthakagrawal6592]

Struggling with the problem since a week....Finally solved.....Doing great brother 👍🏻

[@yurio.2513]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I tried the PC technique, but it just wouldn't work! And your method is even easier!

[@RousyP]

Thank you so much! Your explanations are so easy to follow, and they are really effective.

[@kbhasi]

(4:13) You could instead use 'Editor' (blue/white icon, and from F-Droid) or 'Simple Text Editor' if you have stuff like those or another plan text editor.

[@FrenzVorstellen]

it does work, btw disable also same as unistall coz it means the apps didn't use any data exchange whatsoever, only the apk exist but not the function

[@teji086]

Awesome !!!! Thank you very much !!! It just made my day.

[@suqd674]

Thank you, it worked perfectly on my Oukitel WP15 with Android 11. Great guide, easy to understand and follow.

[@abhishekdavidson]

Very useful information. Thank you!

[@frelnc]

A very comprehensive video. I'm a complete neophyte at this sort of stuff. I had to stop and start, but it worked. Thanks for this service.

comprehensive and very straightforward. thank you!!!! im free from all the bloatwares 😭

All of this to get rid of apps that start taking over your unlocked phone and advertizing to you...

I have a pretty bad habit with being online too much. Followed the guide to a tea and removed any ability to have the internet on my phone and.. badabing. Works like a charm. Thank you

[@tugger]

you can save money with a dumb phone instead too

[@imaunknown5580]

@@tugger With a dumb phone, such as a flip phone, a user is limited to a 2.8 screen (normally measured diagonally). However, not everyone has good eyesight or flexible fingers with dexterity. As one grows older and eyesight decays along with arthritis, the larger screen is very much appreciated. For updating apps and receiving attachments via messages and email, wifi can always be used. There is a reason why the government wants everyone to have a 'smart' phone with data, registered with gmail, along with digital crypto currency, and its not for consumer convenience. Its all about control. "Governmental surveillance is not about the government collecting the information you're sharing publicly and willingly; it's about collecting the information you don't think you're sharing at all, such as the online searches you do on search engines... or private emails or text messages... or the location of your mobile phone at any time." "The two most likely largest inventions, of our generation are the Internet and the mobile phone. They've changed the world. However, largely to our surprise, they also turned out to be the perfect tools for the surveillance state. George Orwell was an optimist."

Tysm for the help I originally saw an article with a tutorial which ended with errors and no fix, but this helped clear everything up and now I have successfully removed the super annoying T-Mobile app that spams my notifications with no way of muting or disabling it.

If you don’t have wireless debugging, you can connect 2 androids with an otg cable (you need USB debugging on).

[@johnion5491]

Totally worth 3$.. a bit tricky and complicated, but work like a charm. Great video!

[@jaewok5G]

I hate when you get a six minute 'how to' video that is 5 1/2 minutes of meandering before the important part - this is *_NOT_* that kind of video, you may even need to take notes.

[@abbba2]

Thanks for the video I'd rather stick to the USB debugging much faster that way

[@XtalkerO]

Pffff.....it's just uninstalling the app for the current user. the app is not shown but it's still in the system which means it's still taking a space in the device storage. Better rooting then uninstalling using system app remover.

[@Jand4291]

Thank you so much, wow. I can't thank you enough. You're amazing the instructions were easy to follow. 🥳

[@Romantic.2022]

The true is you did not uninstall the bloatware,the package of bloatware is still in the memory of phone,in the end if video,you will see that y are able to install again,that means the package of bloatware is still in the memory of phone.

[@Vishalrs333]

Thank you.... thank you so much for your video.....it worked on my phone OnePlus 7 Pro

[@jonganzer7478]

WOW...! A COMPLETE instructional video done by someone who actually knows how to teach. As awesome as it is rare. THANK YOU for taking time to put all this together and help out so many people!

[@henryyob]

Thank you! How about the Network Carrier or Service Provider, where can I find it on the Package Names?

[@angelabolin1730]

I love the LADB app. I used it to uninstall bloatware in my Samsung S22. I use MIXplorer to find the package names. This method works, and it is easy.

[@matthewsmith374]

Followed beginning to end! We saw every tap you made. You kept things focused, yet mercifully paced. I was able to replicate the steps perfectly. Thank you kindly.

[@iiishception]

Awesome video super helpful! I used it to disable link to windwos service as i have a mac. However i mostly wanted to disable it because it keeps asking to update on play store and i wanted to hit update all apps without it being there. This didn't seem to fix it as the play store still recognizes the package is still there. Is there any way around that? I help would be appreciated, I don't like updating apps I don't use.

[@ghetto_bebop]

Worked like a charm on my Poco F3! Thank you so much!
