]]> To uninstall default apps on a Samsung device without root access, you can use Android Debug Bridge (ADB) commands. This should work for most other devices, once you work out how to enable debug mode on that flavour of device.

Here’s a general guide on how to do it:

  1. Enable USB Debugging on your Samsung Android device:
    • Go to Settings > About phone.
    • Tap on Build number several times until you unlock Developer options.
    • Go to Settings > Developer options and toggle on USB debugging.
  2. Install ADB on your computer:
    • Download the ADB installation package for your computer’s operating system.
    • Extract the package to a folder on your computer.
  3. Connect your Samsung device to your computer via a USB cable.
  4. Open a command prompt or terminal on your computer and navigate to the folder where you extracted ADB.
  5. Enter the ADB devices command to check if your device is properly connected:
    adb devices
  6. List the package names of the apps you want to uninstall:
    adb shell pm list packages
  7. Uninstall the desired app using the package name:
    adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package_name> Replace <package_name> with the actual package name of the app you want to remove.

Remember, it’s important to be cautious when removing system apps, as some may be critical for your device’s functionality. Always make sure the apps you’re removing are safe to uninstall12.

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 instructions345. Just ensure you follow the instructions carefully to avoid any issues with your device, as its VERY easy to brick the device using ADB.

There are various different ways to accomplish this. My current favourite is:
