I Always Remove These 7 Pre-Installed Apps From My Smart TV

Summary
When acquiring a new smart TV, many users will blindly accept the interface and plethora of apps already installed on the device, but there are good reasons to delete these apps from your phone.
Apps that come pre-installed on smart TVs can be redundant, as users often have their own preferred apps for watching content, shopping, or playing games.
The smart home apps are the first to go, as these are often unnecessary and clunky, promising centralized control over the TV and other devices in the home, but these rarely add anything useful and often collect data.
It is suggested to rid of manufacturer channel apps that often auto-play ads and only push advertisement-supported content, which takes time during the booting process and clutters the home screen.
It is recommended to stick to the primary app store built into the platform rather than the manufacturer’s proprietary app store, which tends to offer a more curated selection of apps.
Users might find social media apps like Facebook and TikTok on their TVs, but these apps aren’t optimized for TVs, and the experience is frustrating.
