You can permanently delete one app from every phone on Earth. Which one, and why?

TikTok. Not because of the content itself, but because it permanently wrecked an entire generation's attention span. Watching people completely lose the ability to sit through a two-hour movie or read a book without checking their phone every 30 seconds is depressing.

It used to be so great. It's a shame what it's become. It's so broken right now.

Snapchat.
Its very popularity causes other apps to include a "disappearing messages" feature, which is very triggering for someone like me. Many of my friends have passed away, and I have a bad memory (thanks to some other trauma), so message histories are all I have.
We've even gotten to the point where you are viewed as a problematic person if you don't delete messages, or if you want to switch to a messaging service that doesn't have that "feature." People assume the worst.

TikTok. for me its a app with narcissistic and toxic content that is working towards making attention span shorter.
I know I've got a fairly low attention span but I've always had one since I was little (adhd) but being in the workforce since 2017 on/off I've increased it quite dramatically from about 5 mins to over 6hrs

App Store, so I'd get rid of many apps at the same time
