Many Android phones install a ton of apps at the end of the initial setup - stuff like FB, LI, Spotify, Microsoft OneDrive, etc.

- AlecSchueler 3y agoWhile that's true those things are added in by the vendors rather than Android itself, is my understanding.
- HenryBemis 3y agoYes and anyone who is actually bothered by the bloatware (I've switched to Android for a decade or so) can look up what adb can do (or cough up a few $ and buy some convenient alternative like ADB AppContro - just keep it firewalled). Every new Android device I get goes through a serious bloatware-removal phase before I let it hit the internet. Then the battery lasts so much longer, there are no notifications, etc. A bliss!!
- worksonmine 3y agoThat's because of the vendors and not the OS. Easy to avoid by choosing a decent vendor, all my Android phones the last decade have been Motorola Moto G series because of Android one. No bloat, the only bundled app is to add functionality such as gestures for flashlight/camera and I love it.
