Samsung users have long complained that the company adds unwanted bloatware to its software which makes its devices feel slow and sluggish. A few months back it was reported that Samsung is going to change this with the Galaxy S6 and that it will remove those unnecessary apps from TouchWiz. A new report published today claims that the Galaxy S6 will come preloaded with only two Samsung apps, all the rest will be available for download separately.
According to Sammobile, which has sourced a list of apps that will be pre-installed on Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6, these smartphones will come with two Samsung apps, three from Microsoft, native apps from Google apart from Facebook and WhatsApp.
S Voice and S Health will be the only two apps from the company. Microsoft will provide OneDrive, OneNote and Skype. WhatsApp will be available via a download link, Facebook will be pre-installed, so will all of Google’s native apps and Samsung will include the Galaxy Apps store through which users will be able to download the company’s other apps separately.
The ones from Microsoft will reportedly be bunched into a folder called Microsoft Apps, S Health is obviously necessary for the device’s health related functions, Facebook and WhatsApp happen to be some of the most used apps.
The company has also reportedly updated design of important apps like the music player, video player and gallery to support the look and feel of Android 5.0 Lollipop.
