- pipes 3y agoI haven't experienced something being uninstallable, I've always used Google pixel phones, do other manufacturers do this?
- daveoc64 3y agoYou can't uninstall most Google apps on a Pixel phone. Google Maps and Google Drive can't be uninstalled, for example. You can disable them - this stops the app running and will remove its icon, but it'll still use space. Some system apps can't be disabled - many of these are critical system processes, but there are also some that are non-essential.
- pipes 3y agoAh I didn't know! Thanks
