How many apps do you have installed & what is your internal memory?

I have almost a thousand packages, with well over five hundred 3rd-party installed apps on 64GB of internal storage so rest assured it can be done.

2021 T-Mobile SM-A326U Samsung Galaxy A32-5G with 64GB internal storage.

External storage is an sd card formatted with the volume label 0000-0001 so that it can be swapped at any time I wish to replace it with a larger card.

Let me look right now for exactly how many user-installed apps I have.

adb shell "pm list packages | wc -l"

960

adb shell pm list packages | find /c /v ""

960

adb shell "pm list packages -3 | wc -l"

570

adb shell pm list packages -3 | find /c /v ""

570

The number of pre-installed packages show up as "system" packages:

adb shell "pm list packages -s | wc -l"

390

adb shell pm list packages -s | find /c /v ""

390

Note that 390 + 570 = 960

Note that there is no Google/Samsung account on my device (for privacy).
And note that it's impossible for me to purchase an app because I've
removed that capability; so rest assured every app below is freeware.

Here are the 390 system packages:

Here are the 570 3rd-party packages, every single one of which is freeware.
(I removed the capability of my phone being able to pay for anything.)
(Also there is no account on my phone - not Google - not Samsung.)

Apps are not the problem, dipshit. I have 256GB on my iPhones. I have 161GB
of music files (MP3) on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. Rest assured that can't be done with 64GB of storage.

I wanted 512GB in my iPhone 16 Pro Max but the company I work for did not
offer it. All they have is 256GB. BTW I paid $650 plus tax for it, and they pay the monthly AT&T bill. The retail price was $1200. It is my phone, I can sell it whenever I want and get a new one from the company. I still have the 256GB 8 Plus that I paid $500 plus tax for in 2018. The retail price was $950.

Everything I have is 256GB minimum. iPhones/iPods/iPads. I also have 512GB and 1TB iPad Pros. I have 3.7TB of MP3 music files on my Windows server, which I routinely connect to via Wi-Fi networking using the iOS Files app, to get my MP3 files for mobile use. The networking you claimed could not be done without adding 3rd party apps to iPhones/iPads.

I also have a 2TB SSD on this new M4 Mac mini and 1TB in my M2 MacBook Pro.

Storage is SO MUCH more than just apps, troll boy.

That's a good question, where I am one of the most organized computer users you'll ever meet in your entire life - on both desktop & mobile platforms.
<https://i.postimg.cc/fW38dhsX/android-windows-menus.jpg> My Menus Today

Every computer, for decades, & every phone, has the same standard hierarchy since you do the same things on desktops as you do on mobile devices, as
the folders and menus are organized by what the programs/apps do for you.
Row 1: time, telecom ... buy, files
Row 2: network, web... nature, maps
Row 3: pictures, audio & video
Row 4: todo
Row 5: sensor
Row 6: apk
Row 7: system

So all the most-used apps are in the home page in orderly folders (same as
with the Windows desktop) where I keep ordering them as I use them most.
<https://i.postimg.cc/fT2J40RD/windows-cascade-menu.jpg> Windows browsers

How many have you not used in the last year?-+*

It's a great question, where I test software a lot, e.g., I've tested every free app ever suggested on these newsgroups but I don't always delete them.

I give every app one strike and they're out, but if they pass that test,
then I may or may not delete the app after I am done testing it for us.

I looked up how to test for the Android UsageStats database which is only accessible if the device grants the PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS permission to an
app (or we can figure out how to pull the raw database from the phone).

This is apparently the command to dump the current usage stats:

adb shell dumpsys usagestats

This dumped a lot of JSON-like text with entries of the form:
First used -> firstTimeStamp
Last used -> lastTimeUsed
Most/least used -> totalTimeInForeground

There are ways to hone that long statistics output log though:

adb shell dumpsys usagestats daily
adb shell dumpsys usagestats weekly

It's really crippling that you can't do anything like this with iOS.
It's amazing how brain dead iOS is in that it is a toy in all ways.

Anyway, on a real operating system (not a toy operating system like iOS),
you can run a command such as this one to
a. Pull usage stats from the device.
b. Filter only package= and totalTimeInForeground lines.
c. Pair each package with its total foreground time.
d. Sort by usage time (highest first).
e. Show the top 10 most-used apps.

powershell

adb shell dumpsys usagestats | Select-String -Pattern "package=", "lastTimeUsed" | ForEach-Object { $_.ToString().Trim() } | ForEach-Object -Begin { $pkg = "" } -Process { if ($_ -like "package=*") { $pkg = ($_ -split "=")[1] } elseif ($_ -like "lastTimeUsed*") { $time = ($_ -split "=")[1]; [PSCustomObject]@{ Package = $pkg; LastUsed = [datetime]::ParseExact($time, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", $null) } } } | Sort-Object LastUsed -Descending | Select-Object -First 10

Here is a PowerShell one-liner version that will give us the most recently
used apps (sorted by lastTimeUsed) from adb shell dumpsys usagestats on an unrooted Android device.

What it will do is
a. Pull usage stats from your phone.
b. Filter only package= and lastTimeUsed lines.
c. Pair each package with its last-used timestamp.
d. Sort by most recent first.
e. Show the top 10.

powershell

PS:\> adb shell dumpsys usagestats | Select-String -Pattern "package=", "lastTimeUsed" | ForEach-Object { $_.ToString().Trim() } | ForEach-Object -Begin { $pkg = "" } -Process { if ($_ -like "package=*") { $pkg = ($_ -split "=")[1] } elseif ($_ -like "lastTimeUsed*") { $time = ($_ -split "=")[1]; [PSCustomObject]@{ Package = $pkg; LastUsed = [datetime]::ParseExact($time, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", $null) } } } | Sort-Object LastUsed -Descending | Select-Object -First 10

Note: If we want least recently used instead, all we need to do is change -Descending to -Ascending.

Other than those that came on my Moto G Pure, I have installed less that
a dozen apps on my phone.

Ah. That's good to know as it helps all of us to see what our friends on
this newsgroup have installed on their devices. With this information we
can make better decisions, which is why we're always asking questions.

Some of the MFG Installed apps I have
removed, as I never used them, or have no idea what they do.

Yes. I removed all the Samsung-supplied bloatware that I could remove.
Many people don't know you can remove YouTube, Chrome, etc. also.
You replace them with the FOSS more-functional replacement apps such as
Aurora & NewPipe & Bromite/Chromite & FairEmail & PulseSMS, etc.

If I never use an app, it is uninstalled.

The good news is on unrooted Android, you can uninstall almost any app from
the user partition, which makes it great to get rid of Google spyware.

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.vending

And, the beauty of Android, which iOS couldn't possibly match, is that you
can re-install any app any time you want simply by running a command.

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.android.vending

Android always saves the original installer; iOS never does.
Worse, it's impossible on iOS to get the original installer back,
unless it's in the current App Store (which it almost never will be).

You can find the original installer on Android by running this command.

adb shell pm list packages -f

That will show the APK path before the package name, so you can tell if
it's in /system (pre-installed) or /data (user-installed).

If I never use an app...

...well in truth it will probably just hang around, but it hardly
matters if I've got sufficient storage.

As for Arlen, the answer is clear:

I'm not sure why you think there is a "problem" nor why you think asking
how many apps a typical user has installed requires you using deprecations.

I'll volunteer what I have stored on my el-cheapo free Android phone.
<https://i.postimg.cc/HkTSDVmn/android-storage.jpg> Android storage

Note that shows the storage on the permanent 64GB storage, which no phone should ever need more of than that, as it's plenty, and the sd card also.

There are about a thousand packages installed on that 64GB main memory.

I have 256GB on my iPhones.

Of course you do. Every iPhone lacks fundamental hardware which Apple strategically doesn't provide you so that you *must* buy more storage!

Apple designs the iPhone to cost as much as they can possibly make it.
You have to buy all your intended storage, on day 1, up front.
At today's prices (instead of the much cheaper prices years from now).
Apple didn't become the very profitable company it is by being stupid.

I have 161GB of music files (MP3) on my iPhone 16 Pro Max.

That puny amount will easily fit onto any Android phone that has an sdcard given how fast & inexpensive even the huge quality sd cards are nowadays.

Rest assured that can't be done with 64GB of storage.

Heh heh heh... what you're really saying is you're sorry your device is an iPhone because no iPhone can store anywhere near what most Android can.

I wanted 512GB in my iPhone 16 Pro Max but the company I work for did not offer it. All they have is 256GB. BTW I paid $650 plus tax for it, and they pay the monthly AT&T bill.

Thank God people like you exist so that Apple's profits can be so high.

Everything I have is 256GB minimum. iPhones/iPods/iPads. I also have 512GB and 1TB iPad Pros. I have 3.7TB of MP3 music files on my Windows server, which
I routinely connect to via Wi-Fi networking using the iOS Files app, to get my
MP3 files for mobile use. The networking you claimed could not be done without
adding 3rd party apps to iPhones/iPads.

Apple never included an sd slot in the iPhone because Apple isn't stupid.
Their profits are highly dependent on people like you doing exactly that.

They control your every action.
Apple is the Master. You are Apple's Sklave.

I also have a 2TB SSD on this new M4 Mac mini and 1TB in my M2 MacBook Pro. Storage is SO MUCH more than just apps...

The question was simply about how many apps people on this newsgroup
install. I have about a thousand installed, half of which I added.

I ran this script just now which told me the last ten apps that I used.
# dumpsys.ps1
# Version: 1.1
# Date: 2025-09-15
#
# This script uses adb to query the Android usagestats service and extract
# the 10 most recently used apps for the primary user.
#
# The Package column shows the internal Android package name for each app.
# The LastUsed column shows the date and time when that app was last in
# the foreground or otherwise counted as "used" by the system.
# The list is sorted so the most recently used app is at the top.
# The timestamps are formatted as yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss in 24-hour time,
# regardless of the system's regional settings.
# This does not show how long the app was used, only the most recent time
# it was active.

adb shell dumpsys usagestats | Select-String "package=" | ForEach-Object {
# Match and capture the package name from the line
if ($_ -match 'package=([^ ]+)') {
$pkg = $matches[1]
# Match and capture the lastTimeUsed value from the same line
if ($_ -match 'lastTimeUsed="([^"]+)"') {

My output from that script is all these system & freeware apps:

When you get a chance, can you run that script for your iPhone.
Let us know what information you can glean from iOS' databases.

I haven't seen any external memory after LIM EMS.

According to Settings/General/About my iPhone 14 has:
134 applications
809 photos
65 videos
0 songs
128GB capacity
31.78GB available

I probably use 20 of those apps on a regular basis and maybe another 20
more sporadically. Maybe 40+ of them are iOS apps.

More importantly my battery capacity has reached 84% and I will have to
soon make a decision whether to get it replaced or get a newer phone.
I'm leaning toward getting the battery replaced since the phone is fine
and I don't care about AI on my phone. I also don't want to replace my
cables and carry two different types of cables -- a USB-C for a new
phone and Lightning for my work phone and Apple peripherals.

Yeah, we all dealt with the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft Expanded Memory
Specification in the olden days in order to add extra memory to DOS PCs in
the 1980s and early 1990s.

Now the paradigm is you buy a phone with 64GB of storage which can easily
fit a thousand apps, so most people would be perfectly happy with that.

Then you add an sd card of whatever capacity is cheapest at the moment. <https://i.postimg.cc/d1rDJPhn/sdcard01.jpg> $16 64GB Lexar sdcard
Usually you initially match the portable storage to the internal size.

But then, as portable storage gets cheaper by the day, you double it.

Just as in the LIM EMS days, there are clever tricks which intelligent
people employ so that the volume labels match the old & replacement card.

With that single clever trick, you can swap out storage at will!

And all your apps (installed in the permanent storage area) work fine!

Apple knew they wouldn't be able to sell their cloud services and their expensive internal memory since all you need is 64GB for any phone.

But most Android phones make full use of the portable memory sd cards!

The question here, is how many programs do you have on your 64GB phone?
