(Telecompaper) Privacy International and a group of 50 organisations requested Google's CEO Sundar Pinchai in a letter to remove pre-installed apps that cannot be deleted from devices made by partners who use the Android trademark and branding.

The organisations also asked Google to introduce new OEM rules for Android bloatware.
