Ratings and reviews

It can delete anything, including system apps, wifi drivers and more, and if you want the app back, you can get it in the second tab. But you should be careful because it can also break your phone if you delete the wrong thing. Only problem, it needs shizuhu which is an app in the play store too, and then you have to do some other things but it's easy to do.

So fast I posted on Reddit & Github asking if anything had even happened! Lightening quick compared to using ADB debloater s with a PC. I "deleted" 140 packages on my Samsung S24+ (which I was going to return due to lousy Screen On Time) and battery is radically improved! Before Canta I'd disabled tons of stuff and put most apps in deep sleep, plus Light Mode, but no joy. Warning: don't uninstall Canta just in case you need it to restore packages if you get overzealous.

I was initially planning to develop an app to remove or disable system apps, but then I discovered this wonderful app — it's exactly what I had in mind, and it works perfectly. As a result, I've decided to drop my project. I do have one suggestion: consider renaming the app to something more descriptive, like "Canta Debloater / System App Remover". A clearer name might help it reach a wider audience and make it more discoverable. Thanks for the great work!
