In essence, Android TV is Android on a screen. With Android smartphones, this has numerous advantages, but it also has disadvantages, such as unwanted preinstalled software, or "bloatware."
There is a quick way to mass-delete all of these pre-installed apps from your Android smart TV, or you may choose to simply disable them. If you're seeking for information on how to do just that from your Android TV, read this page. Let's investigate:
How Do I Remove Apps From My Android TV?
First, let's go over how to uninstall an app from the Settings menu. After you complete this process, every app you install on your devices, including several that the manufacturer preinstalls, will work. To begin:
Step 1: Select Settings from the menu. By clicking the gear-shaped symbol in the top-right corner of the home screen, you may get there.
Step 2: Click on Apps to access that sub-menu.
Step 3: After selecting "See All Apps," browse down the page until you discover the app you're looking for.
Step 4: To access the detail page for the programme you wish to delete, click on it.
Step 5: To proceed, tap "Uninstall."
Step 6: The system will ask you if you really want to remove this app from your Android TV on a new screen that will appear. To proceed, click "OK."
While the application is being removed, the screen will momentarily flash white. When you return to the Settings screen after finishing, the app will not be listed there anymore.
On an Android TV, disable apps
You'll probably come across applications that don't offer the 'Uninstall' option. Deactivate will be found in its place. An app can be disabled so that even though its data has been deleted, it will still broadcast on TV but will no longer be visible elsewhere.
There should no longer be as much TV bloatware, but there will always be preinstalled system programmes that you cannot disable or delete from the menus. There are a few extra stages, but you can skip them as well.
