This is apples to oranges - the stock Photos app isn’t shareware/demo ware etc. it’s a basic photo gallery app with a really solid search feature, and it integrates into the camera app just liked you’d expect on any other mobile OS.

And just for both of you, you can indeed tap and hold the Photos app and then choose “Remove Application”. I’d be surprised if this did anything beyond hiding the app, and also the Photos app is completely innocuous imo.

Norton preinstalled on a Windows XP machine is more like if your phone came with Weather Underground preinstalled.




The commenter apparently can't tell the difference between a best in class photo management app made by the creators of Aperature with bloatware. I don't fault them: most users can't either which is why giving them a "choice" is extremely overrated!


I am sure Norton also think they are best in class anti-virus software.

and luckily we don't govern by My Opinion™.


If Windows needs a best in class antivirus to use basic hardware features, it is pretty reasonable to bundle it in the OS!
