Is It Safe To Uninstall Google Play Services? by MangekyoAlt: 1:52pm On Oct 18, 2021
I want to know if it is safe to delete Google play services. The app keeps running in my background and using 40% of my ram.
I can't optimize or force stop it because apparently infinix made it untouchable undecided

I've used Adb command to uninstall phone master, YouTube go, as well as other useless & pathetic follow-come apps

The reason why I haven't done the same with Google play services is because some claim all Google apps are linked to it. Will Google Chrome, playstore, Gmail and other relevant Google apps work without it?

Tnx in advance

The name of the app has said it all.... "Services"..... If anything goes wrong with the app... Forget about Google services on your phone.... More like buying Huawei without Google play services... You'll have to sideload Google play services

Not only Google apps. Most of the apps on your phone right now depend on it.

You can only disable it with ADB, but you can't uninstall it. It's a system App.
If you disable, most of your apps won't work without it.

You can give it a try to satisfy your conscience, factory reset the phone to come back to normal.

Root the phone. Remove all useless system apps, including google play services. Remove the root if you like, then then download and install google play services again. This time it will be a user app, therefore you can manipulate it as you choose.

Note: Be careful not to remove essential system apps.

You can't even uninstall it, it's impossible to uninstall it. You can only disable it and your applications will malfunction as you'll be getting an error messages like 'your Application has stopped working' which can be frustrating at times.

I soft bricked my device while trying to root it with magisk about 3 months ago. I had to pay 4k with the man even telling that it was a 50/50 job. Also, I gave him to root it for me, but he couldn't after almost 2 hours of trying

Is there a way to safely root without any risk of bricking?
Bcus the last time I did, I watched many YouTube tutorials and also read articles from XDA forum. Im sure I didn't make any mistake

I've disabled almost all the apps that came with my phone. I've never gotten any error message like that.

Meanwhile, Google play services is currently running in my dad's phone. But still the phone displays that error in every 5 minutes. If not even less.

I doubt if Google play services is the cause of it.

guy, once you uninstall it you won't be able to update any app from Google play store. Your phone will still work fine but your apps will be outdated

Bro a simple google used have saved you this precious energy though not that am saying that I won't blame you especially since you are a transion user.

But, without google play services, anything related to most android core apps will be forced closing, okay in simple terms, Google Play Services is a layer of software that connects your apps, Google services, and Android together. It runs in the background of your Android device at all times and manages things like your push notifications, whenever an app wants your location, and other day-to-day stuff like that. Google Play services is used to update Google apps and apps from Google Play. This component provides core functionality like authentication to your Google.

Another thing is, this is what we keep telling transion users about, transion will make you lazy not to seek for more information /truth about what you bought, that is why they will build four cameras, only one will be functional and they will use english and adobe photoshop to confuse their fans, they will use 2016 SOC on a 2021 flag ship phone, due to they know their fans are tech illiterates will use unverified tech jargons to glorify the thing. The worst is techno, and I did challenge one of their marketers but since then its like the marketers network is doing midterm break.

Remember all through my statements I didn't yab transion just telling you the truth that if to say you were technologically literate, you shouldn't have asked this question this way. Thank you.

Well it seems I don't have any other choice but to leave it. Also thanks for your time, your explanation is the best yet.

Meanwhile, you seem to knw much about tech. Do you knw of a reliable way to root?
I've tried rooting using magisk before but soft bricked my device. I read many tutorials on Xda forum so im positive I made no mistake.
Also, I tried installing TWRP but was shocked to see that they were not available for infinix phones yet. Embarrassing
