<p>To uninstall default apps on a Samsung device without root access, you can use <a href="https://developer.android.com/tools/adb">Android Debug Bridge</a> (ADB) commands. This should work for most other devices, once you work out how to enable debug mode on that flavour of device.</p>



<p>Here’s a general guide on how to do it:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Enable USB Debugging</strong> on your Samsung Android device:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Go to <strong>Settings</strong> > <strong>About phone</strong>.</li>



<li>Tap on <strong>Build number</strong> several times until you unlock <strong>Developer options</strong>.</li>



<li>Go to <strong>Settings</strong> > <strong>Developer options</strong> and toggle on <strong>USB debugging</strong>.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Install <a href="https://developer.android.com/tools/adb">ADB</a></strong> on your computer:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Download the ADB installation package for your computer’s operating system.</li>



<li>Extract the package to a folder on your computer.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Connect your Samsung device to your computer</strong> via a USB cable.</li>



<li><strong>Open a command prompt or terminal</strong> on your computer and navigate to the folder where you extracted ADB.</li>



<li><strong>Enter the ADB devices command</strong> to check if your device is properly connected:<br><code>adb devices</code></li>



<li><strong>List the package names</strong> of the apps you want to uninstall:<br><code>adb shell pm list packages</code></li>



<li><strong>Uninstall the desired app</strong> using the package name:<br><code>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 &lt;package_name> </code>Replace <code>&lt;package_name></code> with the actual package name of the app you want to remove.</li>
</ol>



<p><strong>Remember</strong>, it’s important to be cautious when removing system apps, as some may be critical for your device’s functionality. <a href="https://r1.community.samsung.com/t5/others/how-to-remove-samsung-bloatware-without-root/td-p/5817510" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Always make sure the apps you’re removing are safe to uninstall<sup>1</sup></a><a href="https://www.thecustomdroid.com/uninstall-samsung-galaxy-s10-bloatware-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><sup>2</sup></a>.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUJMXvLQtrs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">For a more detailed guide, including finding package names and using specific tools, you can refer to online tutorials and videos that provide step-by-step instructions<sup>3</sup></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_R9YUmvRP8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><sup>4</sup></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS_sQU8IMN0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><sup>5</sup></a>. Just ensure you follow the instructions carefully to avoid any issues with your device, as its VERY easy to brick the device using ADB.</p>
