[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] fronto:
Now that factory images have finally been posted, we got to work with what many people have pre-installed (qd4a.200805.003). Pretty clear of bloat compared to many of the other manufactures, but there are still some apps we really don't need, and some that we can definitely do without, especially those that nibble away simultaneously at your privacy, data allotment, and battery. We have tried to categorize each type, and comment a little regarding each entry.

Probably the easiest way to debloat on this phone today is to issue the "pm disable-user --user 0" command via ADB as explained here:

Without further ado, here is what we came up with:
