How can such a big company come to such cheap tricks?? In September security update on my Gakaxy A50s, it automatically installed "PhonePe app". In a couple before that, Glance screen was added which is just a way to show more ads.

Now I read about M30s getting Samsung services whose notifications cannot be disabled. 

If this is the treatment we are going to get, why should we buy Samsung phones??
If this continues, this is my last Samsung device for sure. I will either buy a pixel or Oneplus or iPhone. Never Samsung again

But, you cannot dismiss notifications?? I believe that's not fair. They are fine till they don't show unnecessary notifications. I agree everyone may it be, google or apple or oneplus, everyone collects user data. We are helpless there.

Exactly!! I mean they aren't providing the phone at cheap rates like MI. We are paying the price. We have to use adb for uninstalling that is not acceptable.
However, I would really like to know how you used adb to uninstall Samsung Services, coz i believe its only a matter of time before we need it too...

install app inspector and get the package name of Samsung services. install adb in pc/laptop you can get detailed instructions online. enter package name that's it.. app will be uninstalled for current user.

I installed the 10/2020 update in my A51 few minutes ago, and it silently added iFood, Wish and TikTok. I just uninstalled them as soon as I saw them.
