I have had the recent S series Samsung phones and no bloatware was uninstalled via updates like this, that's still disappointing to see

[โ€“] deadcatbounce@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's why I only ever bought one Samsung phone (a galaxy 6 I think) . They do have a tendency to install shit on phones that you will never use but can't delete.

There were a few ways of deleting those apps from Samsung on the web but I focus on buying clean phones with no shite loading (like OnePlus and Pixel). Although my first Pixel send to be bullying me to put my everything on their cloud servers - where all your datas are belong to them ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ via EULA.

I love my Pixel with Niagara launcher for the love translation. Wtf Google with that locked-down home screen. I'll live with the removed call record even though it's legal in the free world.

I've had a Galaxy Note 10+ for 3 years and I've now had an S23 Ultra since around February. Not once have I had random apps installed.

I'm with Rogers Wireless in Canada.

Ah yes the Samsung and their bloatware.
On S23 is almost 60GB https://www.neowin.net/news/heres-the-apparent-truth-behind-the-60gb-android-os-on-galaxy-s23/

That's why when a look for a phone, always research if there's custom ROMs for it, AOSP based.

I control what's on the phone, not otherwise

That is why i rooted my phone as a tech noobie, and it gives me security warning everytime i restart it. As if their shitty apps are not security breach, lol.

[โ€“] ActuallyRuben@actuallyruben.nl 7 points 1 year ago (4 children)

A rooted phone is definitely a bigger security risk if you don't know what you're doing, as anything with root access is unbounded by the usual android permission system, and can completely demolish your OS. Additionally it can serve as a big warning if someone else has tampered with your device.

Mobile Services Manager, that my friend is what we call Carrier Bloat.

None of my Samsung since Galaxy S6 has that, given they were all were retail bought.

[โ€“] indomara@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

My family all have Samsung phones, I guess because we like to stick with what we know. That said, this has never happened to us. I suspect it is a carrier thing, we purchase our phones outright from Samsung or an electronics store, not from the phone carrier on a plan. We are also in Australia, which may have an effect.

I would certainly recommend giving rooting it a shot, then you won't have this problem anymore.
