In this guide, we will show you the steps to remove/uninstall any system app without root. Nowadays, OEMs tend to ship their devices with tons of unnecessary apps, aka bloatware. While you can easily remove some of them simply by heading to the Settings menu, however, most of them have been given the privilege of a system app.
So, as you might have guessed, uninstalling them is no longer possible via the generic route of the Settings menu. One direct approach is to root your device and then remove the desired system app of your choice. However, nowadays, rooting comes with quite a lot of issues of its own, with the Play Integrity fiasco being the major one.
So what else can be done? Well, there exists a nifty workaround using which you can easily uninstall and remove any system app from your Android device, and that too without the need for root. So, without any further ado, let’s show you how this could be carried out.

Some Points to Keep in Mind
Carrying out this process might prove to be a risky approach. You should know beforehand which system app you are installing and what function it performs on your device. Removing an incorrect one might lead to a softbrick or bootloop issue, and doing a factory reset would be your only way out. In this regard, the app that we are going to use now provides quite a safe working environment.
First off, it gives detailed information about each of the system apps [like what they do and their functionalities]. Moreover, it has tagged various system apps like Recommended, Unsafe, Advanced, and Expert. The Recommended system apps [such as Ad Privacy] can easily be removed, whereas the Unsafe ones [for example: Adreno Graphics Drivers] should never be.
If we talk about Advanced, then these are usually the ones on which other apps/device features are dependent on and hence removing it might have adverse consequence on the other ones [for example, AI Servcie Engine is an Advanced app on which the likes of Smart Cutout, AI Editor and other AI Gallery features are dependent].
Likewise, removing Expert level apps might have some negative consequences on your device. While the app does give us the option to easily reinstall all the types of uninstalled system apps, but still, to be on the safer side, it is still recommended to only delete the Recommended ones.
So with all that in mind, let’s get started. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device, and data by performing the below steps.
