Google is lowering the amount of pre-installed apps on your Android device

Android users have been complaining for the longest time about lots of unwanted bloatware coming pre-installed on their devices. According to a new report, Google is willing to change that.

As most of you know, when you first boot up an Android smartphone or tablet, there is a group of apps that come pre-loaded. Although Google’s applications are very useful to some, many complain that there should at least be an option to uninstall them. Many manufacturers have attempted to remove some of their own bloatware apps, and carriers have done the same. Most of the pre-installed apps on your Android device belong to Google, but a new report suggests the company  is willing to help that. Google has decided to remove some of the mandatory apps. These will include:

• Google Newsstand
• Google Play books
• Google+
• Google Play games

The above list of apps will no longer come pre-loaded on your Android device, but will always be available to download in the Play Store. No word has been mentioned on when this will go into action, but you can expect it to start shortly. Even though many manufacturers and carriers are beginning to solve this issue, we are far from a bloatware free device. Hopefully this will include more open storage space straight out of the box.
