This time I got a new phone from samsung and I'm already frustrated with the software experience. 
I have already deleted unknown apps that Samsung has installed twice. I'm also getting notifications now and then to install this and that apps. 
Truly horrible experience with samsung and that's too after paying premium price for their phone.
Shame on Samsung.

1. You can try disabling the 'Discover' option that shows apps to install.

2. Disable the 'App Cloud' from the list of apps in your phone.

Until I did the above settings, my phone too used to have apps installed on its own.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the suggestions! I have Google discover instead of Discover which I have now disabled. I have also disabled 'app cloud'. I hope, I won't get this problem now.

He is talking about something else. That discover advertisement "feature" is in M series devices not in A series (at least not in A52 and above phones). Google discover is the page full of news, weather, and other things you get when you swipe right from the homescreen. But, he is correct about that 'App Cloud' application.

There are many apps which will be installed with your consent (technically) from Galaxy Store...
.
So it's very important to you uncheck those HIDDEN options
