When did Facebook app become inbuilt permanent app in Samsung devices? All that I can do is just disable it, I just want to get rid of Facebook app and I'm not able to uninstall it. Is there any solution?

There is a way you can hide the app.

It's obvious that Samsung is getting paid by Facebook for doing this.

No permanent solution. Disable it or uninstall it by using adb, it will be reinstalled again once you format your device.

If you set up your device properly, you will have the option to uninstall Facebook. I uninstalled Facebook without ADB, just like uninstalling any other app.

Yes. You don't agree to everything, you agree to only what's necessary, you select which services you want and ypu don't select all of them. You don"t allow all permissions and allow only what you need.
