Could you please tell me how I can uninstall the default apps, or at least keep them from constantly updating themselves? That half a gig of unwanted apps that just keeps growing itself is pretty annoying.
- theBobBob 8y agoTrue, that bit is a bit annoying, but again, not being able to switch out or uninstall default apps is much worse than just not being able to uninstall default apps.
- andyjohnson0 8y agoDefault apps are often built-in and can't be uninstalled. But you can disable them. See https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2521768 https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2521768 for details. If you do this then it's worth uninstalling any updates to the app first, to free-up some space.
- petecox 8y agoThe apps are typically installed to a read-only System partition. With 'root' access, it's possible to remove them via a superuser app or adb - or it used to be the case.
- tssva 8y agoIn settings go to apps, select the app you wish to stop updating and then select disable. All updates to the app will be removed and the app will no longer update.
