Sure, iPhones have this issue too, but it doesn&#8217;t make it okay.<\/p>\n<p>Google&#8217;s never fixed its bloatware problem, and I&#8217;m not only talking about the obvious offenders. I roll my eyes at the dodgy games you find on budget Chinese phones, or the weird union of LinkedIn, Booking.com, and WPS Office, but it&#8217;s worse.<\/p>\n<p>Stock Android has far too many pre-installed Google-made apps. When you boot up a new phone, you&#8217;re left staring at the cluttered interface of the company&#8217;s tools, making your sparkly mobile look busy and worn out.<\/p>\n<p>Basic Android isn&#8217;t the only offender, and other Android Police writers have written about deleting Samsung&#8217;s unremovable apps. Still, for me, stock Android is meant to be the cleanest interface by default. Yet it isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Having tested Android phones for nearly a decade, I&#8217;ve become used to quickly removing loads of pre-installed apps that don&#8217;t justify their existence. Recently, I&#8217;ve developed a hit list of seven apps I remove straight away.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t delete them, because you can&#8217;t delete them. But removing them from my phone&#8217;s home screen makes it appear far less cluttered. It also saves space for useful apps.<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tI tried using Android without any Google apps.
