Comment on Unremovable Spyware on Samsung Devices Comes Pre-installed on Galaxy Series Devices
keyez@lemmy.world 20 hours agoDid you get the phone from a carrier? I’ve had 2 Samsung’s both bought unlocked from samsung and those come with no bloatware and for years I never had anything like that happen. My wife has an S23 from TMobile and has lots of unremovable apps and bloat.

I’ve heard that, and I did, but I’ve a google now and I do not have this issue on my google device.
It can’t just be a carrier issue.

It’s not only a carrier issue but it is an issue only with Samsung’s bought through carriers. Samsung obviously allows that or subsidizes them somehow. AFAIK with Samsung and carrier branded devices they have their own update schedules as well that is separate than just updates from Samsung.
