Profiles in App Manager is a very useful feature if you know how to use it. As an example, it can be used to uninstall unneeded system apps and keep track of them too in case you face any issues and wan to revert some apps back:

  1. In three-dots menu in the Main page, go to the Profiles page by clicking Profiles
  2. In the Profiles page, you can create a new profile using two methods:
    1. If you want to debloat your OS, you might want to start using a preset already supplied by App Manager (in the three-dots menu)*, or
    2. Click on the New Profile floating button at the bottom of the page.
  3. Add/remove all the apps that you need/do not need
  4. Save the profile using the three-dots menu
  5. Return to the Main page and click List options (the icon to the right of the Search button)
  6. In the list options dialog, navigate to the bottom, and in the Profile input box, select or type the name of the profile you’ve added earlier. You can additionally apply other filters such as Installed or System
  7. Use batch operations to uninstall the filtered apps.

Since v4.0.0-alpha01, there is a separate page dedicated entirely to debloating your system.
