I hate every app that came with this phone and every Samsung phone prior to it I want to get them off the phone all I want is an Android I don't care if it's a Samsung but I don't want their product on the phone if I own the phone I don't want their apps.

Sorry, but some Samsung apps can't be uninstalled since they are built into the device. Also, I'm wondering why you would pick a Samsung Phone if you don't want to use Samsung apps. It would have been best to get a Pixel if you wanted pure Android.

I would love an answer to this question as well. Especially since my "discontinued " Samsung Browser broke into Samsung Pass from my keyboard and either took or tried to take a lot of private information. Sounds crazy, I know!!! But I happened to notice some abnormal icon colors light up in my banner area while my phone was on stand6

Samsung makes a great phone you just make bad apps. They're bloated they slow the phone down just give me a regular Android with a Samsung. We don't need all your extra everything trust me your security updates are no better than what Google's going to give me

Settings > Apps > Desired app > uninstall/disable

If the app cannot be uninstalled/disabled due to being set as a default or status as a system app:

Pinch from home > Home screen settings > hide apps on home screen > hide the apps you do not want to see/use

This is as close as you can get to what you're asking for on One UI.

If you want a home screen experience closer to stock, Lawnchair is a solid launcher option1776252196185.jpg

Well, this is refreshing. Someone complaining about having Samsung apps instead of whining about "I have a Samsung phone, I want to use Samsung apps".

I'd like to put the in a room together and see what happens. Very odd.

Ooo, or trap them together in an elevator for hours. It could be a new reality TV show. The next week, we throw in an iPhone user.

Thank you. In general I just want rid of anything Samsung related on the phone. Even my system maps could go I'd be happy

Maps is Google.  It's on all Android phones.

I recommend considering a pure Android device, such as a Pixel. I am curious as to why you would opt for a Samsung phone if your preference is for a pure Android experience. Do you typically make significant financial decisions without conducting prior research?
