I'm curious about how many apps is too many? I currently have 245 apps on my phone. I may use 30. Lol! How many apps do you have on your phone or tablet?

"Too many" is relative to your device, and only comes into play if you are running out of internal storage space. If you don't actively use an app, you can delete/disable it. 1756724372242.jpg

As the others say, there are only too many apps if you are running out of space.  However, if you have apps you don't, or rarely, use,  you can uninstall them and then reinstall them on an as needed basis.  For example, for a trip to Universal, I had to download the app.  Since I am not going to Universal again in the foreseeable future, I uninstalled the app.  Same with the cruise line apps. I install them if I am going to be cruising, and uninstall them when I'm not (they are useless when not onboard or planning).  Games you downloaded but don't play do not need to be there unless/until you decide you want to play them again.  At least once a year, you should go through your app drawer and do a "housecleaning".

Well, I don't go that far.  I just uninstall apps that I know either I won't be using again, or won't be using again for a while. Some apps, even though infrequently used, I keep for convenience as long as I am not running out of space, especially if it's an app where if I were to need it, I would need immediate info from it.  I do regular housecleaning, though, taking inventory of my apps and deciding what stays and what can be downloaded if I need it again, such as the aforementioned travel apps.
