Samsung Galaxy S6 to have 'disable' option for unwanted preinstalled apps

Samsung galaxy S6

Many users have often complained of crowded and packed pre-installed applications on most smartphones. Some users even hardly use 50% of pre-installed apps and this apps consume a reasonable amount of RAM.


However, Tech giant Samsung has given respite to most samrtphone users and put many critics to rest, after finally addressing the main issue on users minds 'how do i disable unwanted pre-installed apps. With Samsung's recent iteration of the its proprietary overlay, which debuted on the Samsung Galaxy S6, users are now given the option to disable unused or unwanted apps that are part of the original smartphone package.


Please note, the main action word here is “disable” and not uninstall. The pre-installed apps can only be disabled while regular apps you download off the Play Store can be removed completely.

Samsung’s apps and Microsoft package can be disabled, in-turn hiding them from the app drawer and transfers them in list within the Application Manager where they remain dormant. You can easily access it again from the Settings menu and re-enable the apps if you decide to.
To me its a great compromise between keeping both the products users and producers happy at the same time, and its a commendable step in the right direction.
