Many of these apps may have been installed on your device before you bought it, or maybe they\u2019re old apps that you installed but don\u2019t use anymore. Either way, it\u2019s important to evaluate the apps on your device so that your device doesn\u2019t overheat or perform inefficiently. Luckily, there are a few different ways that you can remove or manage the default apps on your device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How to remove unwanted apps<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One way that you can easily remove default apps from your device is to use the App Manager feature of the DFNDR app. The App Manager allows you to quickly identify unwanted apps and uninstall them. That way, you don\u2019t have to spend a lot of time searching through your phone\u2019s app settings, and can instead view a comprehensive list and remove apps with a single click. You\u2019ll then be able to free up space on your phone for new apps, photos, videos, and more. Click here to manage your apps and remove unwanted apps now:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"psafe:\/\/launch\/app_manager\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9241\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9241\" src=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Deeplink_unusedapps-300x63.png\" alt=\"Deeplink_unusedapps\" width=\"300\" height=\"63\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Deeplink_unusedapps-300x63.png 300w, https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Deeplink_unusedapps.png 378w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also launch the App Manager feature by opening up your DFNDR app, selecting \u201cTools,\u201d and then \u201cManage Apps.\u201d You\u2019ll then be able to sort all of your apps by size, name, date, or frequency of use. This option allows you to see how frequently you use a particular app, so you can better evaluate your app usage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Getting started: how to change your default apps<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve just gotten a new device, then you may have noticed that a pop-up window appears when you want to perform certain functions. This simply means that your device is trying to determine which application you would prefer to launch in order to perform the function, such as browse the Web or save a photo. Whenever prompted, you can select which app you want to use and click \u201cAlways\u201d \u2014 that\u2019s all there is to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also change your default apps by going to your device\u2019s app settings. Find the app that you want to change from the list of apps, and then clear the app\u2019s default settings. You\u2019ll then see a pop-up window, and you can choose how you want the app to behave. You can also reset all of your app\u2019s settings if you\u2019re not sure which app is giving you trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Android smartphones and tablets come with a lot of bloatware installed on them.
