In the next coming weeks I am keen to purchase a new LG TV. From what I've read on online and having looked in store I see that the TV comes with some pre-installed apps, such as Netflix, Amazon Video etc. I'm just wondering if there is away to uninstall these apps. If not is there a way of gaining root access or even editing the firmware?

 

Fully appreciate if this is not possible, however I'm not a big fan of bloatware.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks

Hi Lookout98

Yes these can be removed. Go to the app instead of pressing to select the app, hold the button down for a few seconds. A small x will then appear above the app. Hit this and it will be deleted.

App can be reinstalled at a future time from the LG content store.

      Auto Sound Mode Switching Based on Apps: A Feature Request
      By Pranay Mokida
      I’d love to see a new feature in the next software update where the sound mode automatically adjusts based on the app being used. For example, when opening music apps like Apple Music or Spotify, the sound mode could switch to Music Mode, and for streaming apps like Netflix or Prime Video, it could switch to Cinema Mode.This addition would make the user experience so much smoother and more convenient!
