Debloat/Remove Bloatware from Realme UI 2.0 [Android 11]

In this guide, we will show you the steps to debloat or remove bloatware from your Realme UI 2.0 device running Android 11. The devices from this Chinese OEM run the Realme UI as the underlying OS skin. While it does beholds all the nifty features, at the same time, it seems to have crossed the thin line separating the basic required feature from the bloated OS experience. And unfortunately, it belongs to the second half.

The OS comes baked in with quite a few apps that most of you might not even use. As to the reason why the OEM has pre-installed these apps, well, it’s mostly from the revenue point of view. However, Realme would tag it as making life easier for the end-users, in other words, its users wouldn’t have to manually install these apps. But the thing is that users don’t even need these apps in the first place.

So couldn’t they just uninstall these apps? Not really, as OEM treats them as system apps and hence you cannot remove them via the Settings menu. So what is the alternate way out? You could take the help of ADB Commands to debloat or remove bloatware from your Realme UI 2.0 device running Android 11. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.

STEP 3: Establish ADB Shell Connection

1. To begin with, connect your device to the PC via USB cable. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled.
2. Then head over to the platform-tools folder, type in CMD in the address bar, and hit Enter. This will launch the Command Prompt.
   
3. Now in the following command in the CMD window to verify the ADB connection:
