How to Disable or Uninstall System Apps on Huawei Devices

Disabling or uninstalling system apps on Huawei devices can vary slightly depending on the model and EMUI version. Here’s a general guide to help you with the process.

Disabling System Apps

Open Settings: Go to the Settings app on your Huawei device. Apps: Scroll down and select Apps or Apps Notifications. App Info: Tap on App info to see the list of all installed apps. Select the App: Find and select the system app you want to disable. Disable: If the app can be disabled, you will see a Disable button. Tap on it. You may receive a warning about disabling the app and be asked to confirm your choice.

Uninstalling System Apps

Open Settings: Go to Settings. Apps: Select Apps or Apps Notifications. App Info: Tap on App info. Select the App: Find the system app you want to uninstall. Uninstall Updates: If you see an option for Uninstall updates, you can tap this to revert the app to its factory version. This does not remove the app but can help if you want to get rid of updates.

Advanced Rooting for System Uninstallation

If you really need to uninstall system apps, rooting your device is an option, but it comes with significant risks:

Warranty Void

Rooting can void your warranty.

Bricking Risk

There is a risk of bricking your device if done incorrectly.

Security Issues

Rooting can expose your device to security vulnerabilities.

If you decide to root your device, you can use tools like Magisk or SuperSU to gain root access and then use a system app remover app to uninstall unwanted system apps.

Caution

System Stability:

Disabling or uninstalling certain system apps can affect the stability and functionality of your device.

Backup:

Always back up your data before making significant changes to system software.

Personal Opinion:

I personally would root it. I'm surprised at the amount of bloatware in a Huawei. Rooting gives you the freedom to decide what's on your device, why, and how it works. However, perhaps I am in the wrong segment. I immediately thought they would benefit from rooting.
