Samsung Galaxy A6 phone APPS

‎01-18-2020 05:19 PM

Which pre-installed apps should I disable/delete? There are so many on there, not being very tech savvy,  and I don't have a clue. Any help is appreciated, TIA

I would not remove or disable any apps on your new phone, because some of the apps are running background tasks.

 

I have a Galaxy Note 5 with 32GB of storage, running Android 7.  My phone has 95 apps installed and runs just fine.  It has an older OS and I need a replacement soon. 

 

If you need more storage, find an SD card. Amazon sometimes will have  them  on sale. You can use Google  tools to store a copy of your photos and data. 

 

Enjoy your new phone.

Usually you CAN'T remove the pre-loaded apps, at least without rooting your phone which will void the warranty.

I would go to your carrier's store and discuss it with them so you can fully understand.  You'll do much better and smarter!
