The absurdity of the situation is even more jarring when I get notifications from the Galaxy Store about app updates! So, regularly a few times a week, I get notified about updates, but I can't update them! But I can't uninstall those apps either, because they are core android/samsung apps. So, Samsung people, if you're reading this, pick something: either enable us to remove everything Samsung, or enable us to update them. But I still have to bring up the point of Location Tracking. I haven't had the time, but I am going to send an complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office, so maybe they can have a deeper look into this situation (where I remove my SIM card, clear data from the Galaxy Store, connect through a UK VPN, and it still doesn't work).

This issue is with All Samsung phones in Kosovo. Everything used to work perfectly until about 2 months ago, when they changed it. Also, this "variance for compatibility purposes" is not mentioned anywhere in the Samsung T&Cs. Some of my phones were purchased in the UK. I expect the phones to work as they in the UK wherever I am in the world. The other issue is, I have all my location services turned off, then when I am clearing the app cache&data, removing the SIM card, then using a VPN (connecting to the UK or the Netherlands or Germany) prior to opening Samsung Galaxy Store, it still doesn't work. This means that Samsung tracks our phones even though we turn location tracking off. Is Samsung not respecting our privacy? What other explanation could there be?

Currently i'm in Kosovo, and the Galaxy Store says that it isn't available in this country. https://imgur.com/a/B0L97ak The store has a limited view, and it won't update the Samsung apps. The same thing is happening on an S7, S8, and an A70. I've tried taking the SIM out, turning off location for everything, and using a VPN to connect to the store. When I do that, I get the full view of the store, but it still won't update the apps. When I go to update, the update page just doesn't open. It won't sign into the profile either. Has anyone else had this problem?

In the previous Camera app, in pro Mode there was an option to set the shutter speed. What happened to that option? It was great for really dark occasions. Is there a workaround or something? Preferably not having to install another camera app?
