why the hell galaxy store is installing Moj & MX Share applications automatically.

i didn't installed and neither gave permission.

i connected my device to wifi
and boom store installed these 2 apps forcibly.

it's annoying
I don't wanna use it

auto-update is disabled in store and in device.

and what's difference between mi and samsung if this is the case.

Ok i recently updated my m21 device to one ui 2.5 and today it started downloading some apps like mx takatak and extra I had downloaded an app from play store which tells how much data an app uses and all so I went to today section and an app named app cloud had used approx. 200 mb of data so I just disabled the app and disabled background data the name of the app using net in background

'app cloud' and the app i used to check net usage

yes its anyways "Samsucks". you cannot avoid these things from "samsucks"..just go to settings n block, disable, anything in the galaxy store app like marketing, run in the background, auto update etc..disable all of them n uninstall updates. Next time you open, the app won't run unless you update it. don't forget to uncheck the update automatically at the bottom when you open the app again after disabling all the options under settings

What the hell this really is, seriously? I kept receiving some strange small apps installed on their own, but Initially, I didn't pay much attention, as often times, some applications are installing their appliances for proper functionality (like, plugins, which they need), but now it's too much.

 

I have read other comments suggesting disabling AppCloud in Galaxy Store Settings; however, AppCloud was also installed by Galaxy Store, automatically.. also, I have read to disable Marketing Choice.. which I can't found, as ironically, latest Galaxy Store doesn't have "settings" at all.. it only has a button that seems to be settings link, but there is nothing like Marketing Choices, to disable.

Also, I cannot even disable to the hell, this whole Galaxy Store.. as I don't wanna have it, because, I can't manage it, I can't tell to it NOT to download things automatically.SAM1.jpg

 

What shall I do? #Samsung, are you out of your reasonable mind? why the hell you force us to play your game? this is so shameful and aggressive.
