I’m intrigued, how many of them are actual 3rd party apps though? And how many are different layers around an existing app or part of Apple / Googles base OS? The latter, in fairness, consumes several GBs of storage too.

I’m not trying to dismiss your point here. Genuinely curious how you’ve accumulated so many app installs.

It's an interesting question. Some of them are definitely from the OS (either Google or Samsung).

Looking through at categories of app where I have multiple, I'm seeing:

- Transport provider apps (Airlines, Trains, Buses, Taxis etc)

- Parking payment apps

- Food delivery apps

- Hotel apps

- Payment apps

- Messaging / Video calling apps

- Banking apps

- Mapping apps

It's especially easy to accumulate a lot of apps if you travel through multiple countries, as for a lot of these apps you need different ones in different countries.
