I found Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, Amazon, Netflix, and Spotify on my home, yet I never even visited their websites on this phone. I never recently installed or visited sus places, I ran a full scan with Kaspersky, found nothing. I disabled “MetaAppInstall” from the settings. I have a Redmi Note 12 Pro. I did some googling and it says for Facebook that it’s because of sponsorship. Is this it? You literally can’t escape from those apps even by never looking at them because your phone will force them on you? Or is there some other reason? Edit: I can uninstall them, and I did. It’s just that they installed themselves and I don’t want them to do it again
You don’t even need to root your phone to remove them. Just Google “adb remove apps” and you should be able to find guides on how you can do it via command line on a PC through USB connection to your phone.
Even a PC isn’t strictly necessary. You can do the same right on that phone, but it takes more effort
Fair enough.
