Objectionable content in discover area

[copperadi]

Dear Samsung team,

I had been trying to show some personal document at a sophisticated place to my personal doctor and this is what appears as first screen on discover area of your homepage.If i assume samsung is a korean company then i wish to tell you that such things may be common there but we feel ashamed to see such things especially when we open our mobile in front of some sophisticated person.

This breaks my samsung association and keeps F23 5G as my first and last tried samsung phone.This is what you like others to see.Ashamed of you samsung !!!

Pinch in your display, go to settings, turn off discover.

Would that change the opinion of that second person for me?And especially a female,what will she think?

As I said it in another comment.. It is too bad to do this by a reputation reputated company.

But this is too bad... Even if it is a budget device, they should not put inappropriate ads, that is unacceptable.. For that, shame on Samsung.

Imagine a lady senior most dermatologist asks for your phone to take pic of some affected area of your face to keep as today record.
When she open your mobile,straight away she return to you showing this app and then instead uses her own phone to take pic and send to you on whatsapp,how embarassing this would be for you??

Discover is such a useless ( and infuriating, such a waste of space ) "feature".
You can turn off discover by long pressing the home screen to enter home screen editing and then home screen settings > discover.
