How to Uninstall Google Play System Update [2 Methods]
In this guide, we will show you two different methods through which you can uninstall the Google Play System updates. Apart from the monthly OTA updates that your device receives, it also gets blessed with some updates directly from the Play Store. No, we aren’t talking about app updates; it’s the OS updates that happen via the Play Store!
Known as Project Mainline, it was first introduced way back in Android 10. In this, Google breaks down the OS into smaller sub-segments, and each of them is updated via Play Store updates. This way, Google can fix critical bugs and enhance the device’s security and performance without the need to be dependent on the OEM to roll out their updates.
As useful as they are, in rare cases, they might bring in a few bugs and issues with them as well. In such cases, your best bet is to roll back or downgrade your device to the earlier version of Google Play System Update. And in this guide, we will show you two different methods to get this job done. Follow along.
