How to disable an app on a T-Mobile phone

Settings > Apps > (app) > Disable or Uninstall; the exact wording follows the phone's maker

ADB notes

T-Mobile's apps are installed as system apps on the phones it sells, so some only go with ADB and a few return after a carrier settings update. Unlocked phones bought from the maker carry fewer of them.

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.
