I'm using Samsung J7Max recently I updated MY AIRTEL app and try to uninstall it app uninstalled but leaves an duplicate MY AIRTEL app which tell me download MY AIRTEL app from playstore. I can't remove it or disable it. Don't know what to do. Here is snapshot of duplicate Airtel app.
From what I understand :
/system
partition/data partitionWithout rooting your phone, you only have read access to /system, and read/write access to /data. That's why you can uninstall MY AIRTEL updates (which are in /data), but not the app itself (which is in /system). And since Google Play has a newer version, you'll be prompted to update it again, etc.
Rooting your phone will allow you to gain write access to /system and hence uninstall any system application.
Your question specifically asks for a no-root solution, which is difficult but not impossible if you are willing to use a temporary root through ADB. Connect to your device via adb and enter adb root, mount the system partition, and delete the APK thats in your system partition. This may not work for all devices, as it can be difficult to get true root in production build on many devices. good luck.
