Delete system applications from Vivo Iqoo 3 (or any other Vivo device)

As we already know, Vivo devices come with a lot of preinstalled bloatware like Google and Facebook services as well as some applications from Vivo which cannot be uninstalled directly. So, below I’ll be explaining a method through which you can delete those system applications and enjoy a clean android experience and that too without rooting your device. Please keep a note that this process requires a PC/Laptop.


1. Enabling developer options in your device: which can be done by going to your device settings > my device > more parameters and tapping on the software version multiple times until you get a pop-up saying that you are a developer now.

2. Once the developer options are enabled, you can go to the device settings again, then system management, then developer options. You can enable the developer options if not enabled. You also need to enable USB debugging in the developer options in order to run this process.

3. That’s all you need to do with the android device. Now you need to download a zip file on your Laptop/PC known as "platform-tools" from this link:

4. Once you download the platform tools, extract anywhere in your system and open the extracted folder. In the meantime, you can connect the device to your PC/Laptop. Upon connecting the device to the PC, a popup will appear on your phone screen and you need to allow USB debugging.

5. On the top address bar of the “platform tools”, type ‘cmd’ in order to open the command prompt window.

6. Type this command and press Enter> adb devices (a code will appear in the command prompt window which means the device is connected through adb mode)

7. Type this command and press enter > adb shell (to generate another command).

8. Now, there are 4 different commands that you can use here. One is for uninstalling the system app, one is for disabling, one more for freezing and the last one for reinstalling any app back to your device. All 4 commands are as follows:


Uninstall: pm uninstall --user 0 <package name>
Freeze: cmd appops set <package_name> RUN_IN_BACKGROUND ignore
Disable: adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package name>
Re-install: cmd package install-existing <package name>

9. If by mistake you are deleting any application from your device, you need to enter the re-install command in order to bring that application back to your device. Also, if you press a command for deleting an application and you see that it shows ‘FAILURE’, it means that particular app is not present in your device and you can proceed with deleting other applications.

10. Below is the list of applications (package names) that are safe to delete from your iqoo 3 (or any other vivo phone):
