Nowadays, many smartphone companies ship their devices with bloatware. Bloatware generally means the applications that are pre-installed on the device. Some users may find these applications useful, but in most cases, people find them useless. These bloatware apps take a significant amount of memory and ram in the device. Additionally, some of these applications keep running in the background, which causes the device to slow down and consume more battery.
