You can uninstall or disable apps that you don’t need from your Moto G Stylus. Some apps can’t be uninstalled from your device. If an app can’t be uninstalled, you’ll see the disable option. When you disable an app, it will be hidden from your app drawer and will no longer run in the background. You will also no longer receive notifications from these apps.

Apps to delete on Moto G Stylus 2024

We have created a list of apps that you can remove from your Moto G Stylus. You do not need to remove all the apps on this list. Some apps, such as the Google app, may be useful. Uninstalling or disabling these apps will not affect the performance of your phone.

How to delete system apps on Moto G Stylus 5G 2024

You can’t uninstall system apps without rooting your phone. Instead, you can freeze and hide unwanted apps (instead of disabling them). The easiest way to do this is to use Shizuku. Shizuku gives Android apps system-level API access. This is done without having to fully root your phone.

Shizuku allows you to freeze apps, which works the same as disabling an app. Freezing apps stops them from running in the background and using system resources. These apps will no longer be visible and you can unfreeze them at any time.

Remove carrier-specific apps on your Moto G Stylus 5G 2024

Depending on where you purchased your Moto G Stylus, your device may have carrier installed apps on it. These apps are notorious for being bloatware, installing other software that inflicts ads (and in the case of app managers, installing unwanted apps on your device without your permission). You can safely remove these apps with no going back. For example:

• T-Mobile
• T Life
• DT Ignite (system app)
• Verizon App Manager (System Apps)

If you bought your Moto G Stylus on a payment plan with an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator), it may have bloatware from a partner carrier installed. MVNO providers often have policies about what apps can be pre-installed, but the rest depends on the partnership.

If you have a carrier-locked phone, it’s likely that your phone came with carrier apps pre-installed. Unlocking your phone is your best option to avoid (or have a minimal amount of) carrier-specific bloatware. You can purchase unlocked versions from Motorola or participating retailers.

What happens if you remove Google Play Store?

Google Play Store is a system app that comes with your Moto G Stylus smartphone. It is also the default app store for your phone. If you remove Google Play Store, you risk your other apps becoming outdated, losing notifications, being unable to connect to Play Services, or not working properly. You will also lose your primary way of getting apps.

It’s possible to do it without Google, but it takes work, a willingness to try out custom Android ROMs, and a familiarity with ensuring the security of APKs from third-party sources.
