standaardapps

Standaardapps, also known as built-in apps or pre-installed applications, are software programs that come pre-loaded on a device, typically a smartphone, tablet, or computer, when it is purchased. These applications are integrated into the operating system by the manufacturer or operating system developer and are usually considered essential for the basic functionality of the device.

The purpose of standardapps is to provide users with immediate access to commonly needed tools and services without requiring them to download and install them separately. Examples of standardapps often include a web browser, email client, calendar, calculator, clock, camera application, contacts manager, and a file manager. On mobile devices, this often extends to maps, messaging apps, and a basic media player.

The selection and inclusion of standardapps can vary significantly between different operating system providers (like Apple's iOS or Google's Android) and device manufacturers (such as Samsung, Apple, or Microsoft). Manufacturers may also include their own proprietary standardapps alongside those provided by the operating system. Users can typically use these apps as they are, or in some cases, customize them by changing settings or, if permitted by the operating system, uninstalling or replacing them with alternative applications from app stores. The presence of standardapps aims to offer a ready-to-use experience upon initial setup.
