Bloatware is a problem on Android, and it's not just a Samsung thing. Removing apps that have theUninstall orDisable button grayed out in Settings has always involved sending ADB commands to your phone from a computer, which itself was always such a pain to set up. Thankfully, that has finally changed.
Using the Wireless Debugging feature Google added to Android 9.0 Pie back in August 2018, Android apps can now access your phone's ADB server. In other words, you can now send ADB commands to your own phone. One app, LADB by developer Tyler Nijmeh, was purpose-built for this task and has a head start on any would-be competitors. I'll show you how to use it to uninstall any user or system app below.
