The Galaxy S6 seems to have less bloatware than previous versions, but there are still some ornery apps that you might prefer to disable or remove – including ones installed by your carrier or by Samsung themselves. Here’s how to do it.<\/p>\n

How to disable bloatware apps<\/h3>\n

Disabling an app is actually quite simple on the Galaxy S6.<\/p>\n

Simply open\u00a0Settings<\/strong>, then tap search in the upper right corner. Type in\u00a0Apps<\/strong>, and then click on the result. You’ll have a big list of downloaded apps, currently\u00a0running apps\u00a0and all apps. Find the app you want to disable, then tap on it. Then, click\u00a0Disable<\/strong>\u00a0to stop it, and prevent it from running in future. Read the warning, then press\u00a0OK<\/strong>. The app should now be disabled.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Repeat the process for other apps you want to disable, but remember that other apps that rely on one that you disabled might start going wrong.<\/p>\n

How to fully remove bloatware apps<\/h3>\n

Disabling apps is useful, but you might prefer to fully remove apps instead. If you’d like to do that, then you’ll likely have to root your phone to do so. Once your phone is rooted, use an app like\u00a0System App Remover<\/a>\u00a0to remove the app for good. Once again, remember that this may cause problems elsewhere.<\/p>\n
