Samsung pushes automatic installation

[iamojasgupta]

If anyone has noticed that Samsung has been pushing few apps being installed behind the monthly software update

I cant believe Samsung is forcefully installs these apps on our phone without our permission as part of their some deal with these app developers

I recently updated my phone to August security patch and Samsung installed : mx taka tak, phonePe and moj (3 apps installed without even telling me or asking me)

I thought Samsung was a premium brand but no... just like Xiaomi shows advertisement in phones, Samsung straightaway installs these apps

In few previous updates Samsung installed : tik tok (before it was banned), snapchat and candy crush

ABSOLUTE PATHETIC (Samsung just gave me another reason to leave their brand)

yes it does happen without seeking permission but we full control to stop it

[iamojasgupta]

you saying we have control over this ?

tell me how... I'm really annoyed by thid

[Zombie9]

turn off the auto update toggle option in developer options

[Zombie9]

another thing is while the apps are installing, you can just click on them and stop them

i was getting annoyed at first too, until i turned it off and it worked for me

[iamojasgupta]

the thing is that

when phone restarts after update, it says finalizing update and never shows any app being installed but when I open app drawer

these apps are there already

go to Samsung Galaxy store>settings >disable marketing choice and do never to auto update
