Tips to Avoid Installing Unwanted Apps
When you purchase a Samsung Galaxy S5, or most smartphones for that matter, it may come pre-loaded with certain applications or software. One example of this is the Flipboard app which provides access to magazine-style content and syndicated news. While the app might be pre-installed on your Galaxy S5 and offer many features, you may have no interest in using it. If you would like to remove Flipboard from your Samsung Galaxy S5, here are a few tips on avoiding the installation of unwanted apps so you can customize your phone to suit your needs. One way to avoid installing unwanted apps is to read app descriptions carefully prior to downloading anything from the Google Play store; this will give you an idea of what functionality the app offers and how it accesses your personal data. You should also disable auto updates for any pre-installed apps on your device since those with administrator privileges can be exempt from user restrictions. When signing into services such as Google Play, Social Hub or Media Hub, also be sure not enable buttons that allow system auto updates when downloading content as this could lead to more apps being installed without receiving explicit permission from the user first.
Finally, consider using a third party antivirus solution when accessing Wifi networks and downloading files as many malicious programs disguise themselves as apps in order to gain access to confidential user data. By following these tips, you can help ensure that only desired applications are installed on your Samsung Galaxy S5.
Conclusion
By following the steps above, you should now be able to successfully remove Flipboard from your Samsung Galaxy S5. While it is possible to manually remove Flipboard, it will take some effort and time. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this, an alternative solution is to use a third-party software such as AROMA File Manager that can help automate the process for you for a minimal one-time fee.
No matter which approach you decide to take, always remember to back up your data beforehand in case something goes wrong during the removal process.
