Starting April, consumers of new smart phones will be launched with the ability to remove unnecessary basic apps. This is due to the announcement by the Future, Creation and Science Ministry in January listing new guidelines which protect the choice of consumers. There are some basic apps that Google and mobile operators required to set up with the Android OS on smart phones. Previously, users could not get rid of these unnecessary apps. While they could hide the apps, these still occupied memory and used battery capacity because of the app’s background functions. However from April, consumers can remove these unnecessary apps keeping essential ones which are needed to run the smart phone’s hardware and software.
