Why You Should Be Careful Of Transsion’s Bloatware by Illusionale(m): 11:45am On Aug 16, 2022
If you use a tecno, infinix or Itel phone then you must be very familiar with bloat-ware. Unwanted apps that have been installed by your Smartphone maker which they believe you might find useful. Bloatware is not useful, at least to me; I certainly do not find More, Phoenix browser and status saver, musixx and the rest of them useful at all.
These apps use up memory because they tend to run in the back-ground and perhaps this is the most annoying thing about them; they send me useless notifications. Check any tecno and infinix phone right now and you will see at least 3 notifications from phoenix browser alone. those ads clutter your phone and sometimes when your device is lagging or has just been turned on, you see those annoying ads/notifications dropping in like unwanted visitors on a hot Saturday afternoon- humour attempted here, visitors are great, it’s nice for people to visit you once in a while but not on a Sunday afternoon when all you just want to do is sleep.
So as a Transsion user, you should know already you can’t escape bloat ware, because unfortunately it seems Transsion has some dealings with those companies and that is why you have them, even if you manage to remove those apps, they will find their way back, especially through another app that may have some kind of dealings with them as well. Xender.
Transsion, Xender, Bloatware (more, phoenix browser and status saver) are like bread, Akara and Pepsi, they just go hand in hand and one cannot exist without the other, if you use a tecno phone and you do not have any of these apps, you deserve an award. If you do not use any of these phones, then you may be safe... for a while.
This is because bloatware can still find its way into other brands of phones, I did not have any on my Umidigi A9 pro until yesterday night and that’s the main inspiration behind this article, I woke up to the sound of my phone beeping continuously, at-first I thought Alarm?, but on turning the screen on, my sleep reddened eyes saw “check why Peter Obi is stepping down” From phoenix browser. My mind went WTF and all I wanted to do in those few seconds was find the Mumu app and remove it.
Luckily I managed to uninstall it and made my phone and eyes a promise that it would never again see the sight of those apps by doing these few things, which I believe would be useful to you as well if you do or do not already have those Mumu apps.
First off, uninstall those apps; Tap and hold any of the above mentioned apps in your app drawer/list and uninstall.
Secondly, find and delete their APK files by using a file manager, you can use Xender to delete the apps but I do not trust that app, you cannot ask the devil to destroy his own angels.
Third and possibly the most important, always uncheck these apps (phoenix browser, more and status saver) from your send list when you are transferring files through Xender. Check and recheck to make sure they have not disguised themselves as a picture or file you want to send, because yes, they can disguise themselves on xender.
That’s all for now, Stay safe and may Transsion’s bloat wares never find you.

It's really too much on transsion related phones I can relate . Though they're all common on most phone manufacturers even my Samsung phone comes with Microsoft related apps and Facebook app among others. I had to disabled the excel and PowerPoint app cause I don't need them and they take memory.

that's not bloatware compared to what's on transsion devices...the os is filled with Chinese ads and I've experienced an app displaying porn images in the notification bar before and it's pretty hard to delete the bloatware

True but those apps and others are still nuisance to me just as transsion devices pre-installed apps are.

I got a cartoon movie from my neighbor recently through Xender by the time I know it has installed Phoenix Browser and other related bloatware apps and immediately uninstall the the phoenix Browser only to notice that the cartoon movie starts stuttering and hanging.

this is just the height of it. I have seen an elder man infinix phone with so many bloat ware apps that display nonsense notifications. I keep deleting and uninstalling but they kept coming back... Xender is bad in sending these apps. When sending movies or files on Xender, the apps automatically get ticked but I'm wiser grin. Buy Samsung and have a rest of mind sha.
