I returned my last Samsung because it was riddled with bloatwear that could not be disabled or uninstalled

Facebook was one such app, if I disabled it, it would re-enable itself on reboots

And it wasn't even a cheap phone

when I got my S24+, it had Facebook, Spotify, Netflix, LinkedIn, Office 365, and OneDrive. I was able to uninstall all of them except OneDrive. I disabled OneDrive.

Good to know you can now uninstall them. I think my son has a Samsung now, I can check with him.

Depends on whether it comes from Samsung or via a phone company.

Either way, Universal Debloat Utility is your friend.

Canta is a very good tool for that

I don't use Samsung unless I plan to unlock and root the device. I have 70+ apps disabled on my Samsung tablet and it's finally usable. Hopefully someone else comes along with a high spec OLED tablet sometime soon so I can stop buying Galaxy Tab S devices.

Good plan
