I was scrolling through my phone when the new HL edition notification popped up and decided to check the prompt. That made me decide to explore my phone to see the apps I have and it surprised me how I have never opened these apps since I started using my phone over two years ago. Some of these apps came with the phone while others were downloaded and so, I never thought about exploring most of them except the ones I have always opened because they are part of my daily routine to check them.
It's funny to see that there are some apps you wouldn't even think of opening for a long time until you find your way there and accidentally open one of them and discover their functions.
These are apps I consider useless because I don't open them at all and deleting them wouldn't have an effect on my life. Then, we have some apps that you can't uninstall but leave them there as they come with the phone and it annoys me having them doing nothing and taking the space when I could free up space for the important apps for my usage.
There was an app that I discovered had been lying on my phone for the past 2 years, going to 3 years now and when I went through it, I was amazed at the features in it, I tried them on my phone and saw how beautiful they make the home screen looks, I decided to leave it.
So, while going through my phone apps, I saw these that I would be deleting, thanks to Hive Learners for reminding me again. They are "Smart Things, Galaxy Wearable and Smart Tutor"
I don't know anything about these apps sincerely and it was today I got to explore them to know what they do. When I checked the Smart Things app, it kind of controls one's device with home appliances and other life stuff. I don't even understand it, perhaps someone would be kind to explain that in the comment section. But to me, it's useless because I have never used it and choosing to delete it wouldn't affect me in any way.
Galaxy Wearable. What does it mean? What does it do? As far as it has been lying in my phone for a long time and never thought of using it, it's useless. I don't use it and don't think it would be useful for me later. Luckily, it can be uninstalled.
I wanted to know what this app does, so I tried but it couldn't connect to any device around me to check it out. So, I don't think it's something I would want to keep checking as I may even forget such an app exists on my phone.
Then comes the smart tutor app. This is also considered useless because it's not serving me any purpose. Smart Tutor is a technical support application, that provides troubleshooting and guidance to help solve technical issues with your device. This app helps to optimise device performance when a technical expert works remotely to solve the issues once it is connected.
I am someone who handles phones very carefully and I have never had any records of a phone having a fault and I don't think there would be me trying to use the app for such a purpose. I always make use of the Phoenix app to optimise my device performance and that's it. I don't need this app on my phone and deleting it wouldn't affect me whatsoever.
Another app that is useless to me is Radio. I still can't remember the last time I intentionally decided to listen to the radio on my phone plus the ones I have owned in the previous years. I believe in reading and watching online rather than tuning in to the radio except I find myself around people who listen to the radio but it doesn't make me touch the radio app on my phone. So I consider it useless and should be deleted asap 😒
Don't mind the rest of the app. The useless apps are the Vpn and MTN services.
The reason I had the VPN app was when my sister wanted to give me a job that required using VPN to connect to her country but she had another issue and the job got suspended while she handled it herself. So, the app has been there without touching it. So, I don't need it and wouldn't affect me in any way. Then the mtn service app. What do I use it for when I can always lodge my complaint via message, calling and checking for details online? So, it's useless to me.

Lol, when I see these apps ehn, I don't waste time to delete them because I don't need them. Let the space be available for something useful.
Yes oo. Creating space for the useful apps.
Abi na 🥰
You actually have a lot of useless apps on your phone I can't lie. There are many apps that comes with our phone that are actually useless that you can't delete or uninstall. As for the radio that is actually the most useless app ever app in a phone. I guess you are using a Samsung galaxy right??
Yes, I am using Galaxy Samsung. Those apps can be frustrating when you can't delete them but are lying useless.
I agree with you, I have apps on my phone that I don't use, and I recently noticed some of them, which I will discuss in my post.
We have the radio in common, I hardly ever use it either hahahaha, only in emergency cases when there is no electricity in my country, I play the news through my cell phone radio to hear when they restore the electric service.
Curiosities of technology I guess :)
I have never been bored to use the radio app 😆😆 so useless.
Wow!
I think I have one useless apps on my than you. Until this topic came up, I net for once thought of any of those apps as useless. But now, I know how seriously useless some apps had been.
Most of these apps are system apps, they came with the phone and as such cannot be deleted.
Yes. Those system apps that come with phone can be frustrating when they can't be deleted and you just leave them, but they are taking spaces.
This week edition has thrown me to my phone apps, and I will looking forward to opening and if it doesn't have meaningful features, I would delete them.
Thank you for sharing with us.
Yes. I was moved to check my phone again to see those useless apps and delete them.
We all have applications like this, we see them and start to ask how they came about.
Yes, some are there without remembering how they were there.
As I IPhone user, I try to limit the apps I install on my phone. Currently, the only useless apps I have on my phone are Zenith bank mobile app and Messenger. Princess Busayo, if I catch those zenith bank people enh…
🤣🤣🤣 don't vex too much. Some banks can be annoying ehn...
There are brands of phones that come with more useless applications than others, and the worst thing is that they don't allow you to delete them. This was one of the things I took into account when I bought my current device. Regards @princessbusayo
Yes, I think there is a way to remove these apps when buying a new device? They are just useless there.
Very funny to see them occupying space and not adding any value. I delete if you are useless for three months except for the undeletable system apps😏
Yes oo. I don't see you sitting down on my phone without doing anything for 3 months. Lol
😂😂
Are you raring this apps ? Abi why are they so much on your list, having to many unused apps will just clutter our storage, so it's best to get ride of some of them with Time.
Hahaha 😀 I had to do another exploration today and decided to uninstall them and I did. Now, my phone would have more space for good apps.
Thank you 😊
I think those follow come apps shouldn't be deleted, I'm just saying tho 😅
Hahaha. Why did you say so? Lol
Most of them make the phone run smoother 😅
