Hi everybody,
Due to usage needs, I have downloaded a lot of applications on my phone. Maybe that will slow down my phone. So I want to ask people what apps should not be on the phone so I can delete it to make the phone faster.
Thanks everyone.

Well... I'd say to uninstall all apps that you don't need.

Hey! I think some heavy games should not be on the phone, but on a computer and preferably a gaming one))

1. Privacy & Security Risks
Chinese-owned apps with data concerns (e.g., TikTok, SHAREit, UC Browser)
Sketchy VPNs (Free VPNs that log data)
Third-party keyboard apps (Some log what you type)
Flashlight apps (Unnecessary; built into modern phones)
2. Battery & Performance Killers
Social media apps (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat—better to use browser versions)
Bloatware (Pre-installed apps you never use)
Cleaner & booster apps (Android & iOS manage RAM well, these often slow down devices)
3. Time-Wasters & Productivity Killers
Mindless gaming apps (Candy Crush, PUBG, etc., if they consume too much time)
Excessive shopping apps (Amazon, Flipkart, etc., if they lead to impulse buying)
4. Duplicate & Redundant Apps
Multiple browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox—pick one)
Duplicate messaging apps (Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram—consolidate)
