I'm genuinely concerned whether or not Samsung cares about user privacy or not. Fine, we have an option to disable FaceBook and it behaves as if it is uninstalled after it's disabled but here's the thing: WHY IS IT A F*CKING SYSTEM APP ON MY PHONE IN THE 1ST PLACE? I don't wanna think about this or handle it when I'm setting up my brand new flashy Samsung phone, only to be shocked that FaceBook comes pre-installed on my phone. There are two kinds of people: people who use FaceBook to stay connected and don't care about anything, people are more aware, who care about their provacy and are working on getting out or are already out of the FaceBook woven net around your social media dependence. I have some knowledge to hoe software works but they are people who don't know and will read articles about FB. I will soon be out. Like look at this sh*t:

The OnePlus community whacked the company in the head not to put FaceBook on their phones pre-installed when they heard the news and OnePlus listened. Apple has their huge positive reputation for providing that granular control to the user about their data sharing. Samsung, if you're listening then PLEASE REMOVE THIS. You need to cater to both sets of people as I mentioned above. People who want to use it can manually download it. I don't want to see it on my f*cking phone pre-installed. I swear as the opinion leader for tech in my circles, I will direct them away from Samsung if this isn't fixed. Please, I trust you as a frustrated user that you will take action like b4 we cross the 2021 half-way mark.

Yes but Cybercrime rates have gone up indubitably since the pandemic. Whatsapp and Instagram are being hard integrated into FB.
