O Android has come a long way since its creation in 2008, including the introduction of built-in utilities.

Examples of this include the flashlight, QR reader, screen recorder, multimedia player and screen dimmer.
QR code readers and screen recorders are also some of the most common applications used by criminals to gain access to your smartphone.
If you still have utility apps on your phone that are now redundant, it’s time to delete them.

This includes various browsers, note-taking apps, and even photo backup apps. Sometimes it makes sense to keep two applications similar.
