Today's Quick Tip....
Did you recently purchase your first smartphone?
If so, it probably came with a boatload of pre-installed apps, many of which you'll likely never use.
Those unused apps do more than just waste your phone's limited storage space. They can also cause system instability and even pose a security risk if they aren't updated with security updates on a regular basis.
Luckily, you can uninstall many pre-installed apps, and the rest can be disabled.
Just follow the instructions that came with your phone and get it done. You'll be glad you did in the long run.
