Hi.

Please is it possible to get a kind of explanation to the system apps on my Infinix Smart 3 and do like a scale of apps that are safe to keep, disable or uninstall! Would really appreciate this.

If it helps, I could add screenshots of my system apps.

Thanks!

apps without icons e.g android services library, you should not uninstall them. they're either too small in size to make any difference and are usually very important

those with icons, you'll have to be certain of their function before uninstalling, if unsure, you can always disable / freeze them, restart the device and check if it works properly, if it does then it can be uninstalled if not then a factory reset will re-enable it

from your screenshot as example we already know chrome is a browser and gboard is a keyboard, you can uninstall these without causing harm to the OS even if the app says "should keep", same goes for calendar. note that if gboard is the only keyboard you have, you might want to refrain from uninstalling it

the apps located within vendor partition can be uninstalled

varies, you can check using a root file manager within /vendor/apps/* or /vendor/priv-app/* (this might not exist in android 9)
OR you can extract vendor.img from your firmware and check the above locations
