App Freezer helps you freeze (disable) unwanted apps and preinstalled bloatware on Android devices. By disabling unused apps, you can reduce background activity, save battery, free RAM, and keep your device cleaner and more organized.

The app supports many Android devices including Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Huawei, OnePlus and more.
It works on ROOTED and NON-ROOT devices (using Android Device Administrator mode).


Important Permission Notice
