However, there are some apps that you cannot remove from your phone as a normal user — you will need elevated privileges.

Here's how I easily debloated my Android phone

Battery-powered, wireless security cams have serious advantages but also come with major caveats. On the giveth side, they let you mount a security cam nearly anyway and are super-DIY friendly without any cables to wire in. On the taketh away side, those batteries need extra management, and if you put the cam in a high location like above the garage, you may have to bring out the ladder every few months to replace/recharge the battery. Not so bad for a video doorbell, but a big pain for cams taking the wide view.

Google has a post up on its security blog that is half advertisement and half PSA-style announcement for Android users: go into your settings and turn off the "Allow 2G" toggle. This option, added in Android 12 back in 2021, does exactly what it sounds like: it turns off support for 2G cellular networking. Why would you want to do that? Because attackers are using the insecure 2G protocol to spoof phone numbers and send SMS spam.
