What is the use of TalkBack in Android?

TalkBack is an Accessibility Service that helps vision-impaired users interact with, and enjoy, their devices. It uses spoken word, vibration and other audible feedback to let you know what’s on your screen, what you’re touching, and what you can do with it.

Can I delete the TalkBack app?

Some apps cannot be uninstalled or disabled (the Settings app, for example). Some apps, as with TalkBack in the next screenshot, you can disable, but there is also the option to Uninstall updates, which will reset the app to its factory state, making it a bit more lightweight.
