Huawei is one of the leading Smartphone companies with some popular devices like Huawei P30, Honor series and more. After the US-China trade war, the Huawei lost connection with Google. Then Huawei announced its Custom OS called Harmony OS which doesn’t have Google Apps in it. But it doesn’t matter which OS you have installed on your phone. Because the bloatware will be pre-installed in each case. But you can remove unnecessary apps from your Huawei phone by using this guide. Here you will know How to Debloat Huawei Phones.
If you have a rooted phone then you can easily uninstall any apps from your phone. But rooting a Huawei phone is itself a challenge. It is because Huawei doesn’t allow unlocking bootloader on their phone but it is possible in some Honor phones. Even though we can’t root Huawei phones, we can still remove system apps without losing any data.
There are many reasons to remove bloatware and no reason to keep it. These are the junk apps that eat up space and battery. The bloated apps like default Browser, pre-installed games, and others. Let’s dive into the guide to remove bloatware.
