    Do this

    You can’t delete it because that’s legal. But you can totally disable it and it will definitely not run accidentally in the background. It’s just stealing your battery power and storage.

      I understand system apps not being able to uninstall, but you seriously can’t remove YouTube from an android phone???

      A thousand thousand people have said it before me, but it is still fucking insane to me that OEMs can just mandate what is installed and not installed on your device.

      I had gone from a Galaxy S5 to a J7 Pro, to a Pixel 4a and now to a 7a. All of them only ever had custom ROMs while I owned them, so I completely skipped out on both this shit, and all other OEMs locking you out from the bootloader.
