Recently, newly launched Xiaomi phones come with Google apps which can't be removed or disabled easily. It's the same with some of Xiaomi pre-installed apps. The Redmi 5A is no exception.
Unlocking the bootloader and rooting the Redmi 5A can be a tedious affair for the average-joe. So we won't be getting into that here in this post. Fortunately, there is another method to disable the bloatwares and free up some space which requires much less effort.
Disable Google apps
Step 1 : Goto Google Play store and search for 'Activity Launcher'. Then install the app.
Step 2 : Start the Activity Launcher app. Tap on 'Recent activities'. At the drop down menu, choose 'All activities'. The text menu may not be visible if your phone is set on low brightness, so turn the brightness up if you have to.
Step 3 : Now scroll down the list and choose 'Settings'(the first one). On the next list, choose 'Installed apps'(the second one).
Step 4 : Now all installed apps are listed down. Tap on the '3 dots' button. Then choose 'show system'. 'Show system' will add system apps to the list as well.
Step 5 : Disable any apps you don't need. Not all apps can be disabled, and if you're not sure what the app does, leave it enabled. Also uninstall updates to the app if there is an option before you disable. This will free up space.
The Activity Launcher app can be uninstalled after you are done. Install it again if you need to use it.
Goodluck!
