I've done something I haven't done in 8 years: I have enabled automatic app updates on my Android phone. Give me your most bloated, memory hogging apps and useless feature creep!
I still have disabled updates on these apps for varied reasons:
- Chrome 71 - 72+ runs slowly with the new material design updates
- Evernote 7 - newer versions are too bloated
- Facebook v 93 - the king of memory hogs. It's the absolute worst offender. With older, slower phones, I removed the Facebook app and used the mobile web version and it simply was a lot more responsive. To keep the news feed responsive, it constantly is pulling down a huge amount of data and images. If you still need notifications, it supports browser notifications or you can install Facebook lite, which is the html5 version of the app; it really is a lot lighter on resources.
- Acr voice call recorder 22 - the newer versions still record calls buthide the number called since Android has increased system security.
- (Google) Play videos - I don't use it
