Like other Carriers, Sprint also Installs some Bloatware Android Apps like Sprint Hub. Unfortunately, we can’t uninstall this app like Playstore apps. You have to use other methods to disable and delete those Applications. Below I will explain some ways With Root and Without Root. Based on your current mobile state, you can choose the appropriate one.
