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)

Just want to add on that this does not work for the secure folder, as the marketing bit is missing. And samsung seems to still install what ever it wants in there like tiktok from time to time.

Rather annoying it sends a notification for the folder. Asks if you want to download X and as you read what it is suggesting, it auto accepts it and begins downloading.  Really **bleep** move by Samsung.
