Like many others, I find ADB to be an excellent utility when I intend to get rid of bloatwares / system-apps-that-I-don’t need from my Android phone.

The only caveat being that ADB is to be run only on a separate device (Windows, macOS or Linux), and my Android phone has to be connected to it in USB-debugging mode.

Not sure if this is a dumb question or not - but Is there any ADB equivalent that I can run straight in my Android phone to remove bloatware from the same Android phone ?

Thanks in advance !

    This is entirely up to the app. Many of them don’t upgrade properly from previous versions of their own data. Often they only take into account the immediately previous version, so if you try to skip versions they’re toast.
