August 1, 2024 by Lisa Cupido
Pre-installed apps are the free gifts that don’t always keep giving. In fact: it’s possible you’ve never used most of the apps that come pre-loaded on your device. Most pre-installed apps are not taking up a great deal of storage space, but when you’re in a situation in which every bit of space counts, you don’t have room on your phone for apps that are useless to you.
Keep in mind: the usefulness of an app will depend on how much use you can get from it each day. But, generally speaking, these pre-installed apps are considered among the least used, but they are still taking up storage space. Feel free to delete them and gain back some space.
