How to get rid of TouchPal 2020

This one application gives the vibes of a malware. I'm using Oppo Realme 1 and noticed TouchPal 2018 icon on my home screen out of nowhere. I have no memory of installing it, nor I suspect any application I have installed that would do it. So I highly doubt the guys at Oppo are behind this. I have my concerns on what this might actually be doing on my phone. Then I went on to delete/uninstall it, but to my surprise, it just won't leave my phone. This little step by step process will help you remove TouchPal from your Oppo Realme. I have also attached the screenshots to help you further in case of a language barrier. Go to Settings and click on Security. Click on Permissions and switch to Apps tab to manage permissions granted to Applications on your phone. Find TouchPal 2018 and make sure all of the permissions to this app are put on Forbid. Go back to Home screen, press and hold TouchPal 2018 icon and click on Delete.

[FIXED] Inventory glitch or the Black hole Bag in PUBG Mobile

If you're unable to reload or your inventory a.k.a. your bag is always empty, everything you pick just goes into some unknown void and you're just clueless as to why bad things always happen to good people. Just relax because it is not a major issue and can be resolved easily. Like really easy. In short, just Restart your device. That's it, man. Just restart your device. And for people who want to dig a little deeper. This is probably not a big deal for the developers working on PUBG and I guess they can fix it in no time once and for all. It probably happens because of some data that were stored previously either from the game you left in between or you got disconnected from and are causing some conflict with the new data from the current game. So even if you uninstall the game and reinstall it won't fix because some of the temporary data remain in the phone which the application expected to be flushed when the device will be restarted.
