Just uninstall it, hardly a big deal, every phone ever made comes pre-installed with apps.

There is no context here... or details on what your issue is.

What apps are you talking about ? Is it a system app that is required ? Is it a user app that could be simply uninstalled ? What model phone do you use ?

Do you not think that other phone manufacturers and companies install background apps without you knowing ?

If you want to get some constructive answer to your post then you really need to give some details.

If you are not seeking any answer to your post and are just here to make complaint then there is a proper complaints procedure. This forum is generally just phone users and not samsung employees.

Kind regards

All OEM's do this - you can just remove what you don't want. Some love them, some don't. 

For those that do, it saves having to manually download.

Hi and welcome 👋

You'll find all manufacturers will come loaded with pre-installed apps which I'm sure this will cause you further inconvenience and stress to your life.......

Have you considered, as above have mentioned, deleting the app? If not, surely the time taken to write this post could have been spent deleting it?

But anyway. Good luck with your non-Samsung phone that'll come with pre-loaded apps.......

Hey there and welcome to the Samsung UK Community Forum

Your new device (regardless of manufacturer) will come with dozens of apps pre-installed.

Some are SYSTEM and are essential to run your device.

Some are REQUIRED to run features on your device.

Some are perceived to be useful apps (like Facebook for example).

Now YOU might not find Facebook useful (I don't have it for example) BUT a quarter of the world's population use Facebook therefore love it or loathe it it is here to stay.

Your reaction is totally Over The Top. Simply delete apps you don't want that are not needed to run your device.

Do you think iPhones come with nothing reinstalled or Nokia mobiles are bloatware free?
Most apps like FB, Instagram, X etc cam be uninstalled in seconds.
Or maybe you would like your next mobile to have no Google based apps or IOS based apps?
It's the world we live regrettably and each manufacturer no doubts gets a kick back to ship with certain apps even if they can be removed.
