This morning a customer told me that the new Samsung Galaxy S25 (and probably also the previous ones – but I hadn’t noticed this on my S24) run, by default, a background service called “Meta Services,” which belongs to Meta. And it runs even if you don’t have any Meta apps, as it’s the result of an agreement between the two companies. I don’t have any information about this – does anyone know more?

@[email protected] They are doing this for years. I had a Samsung for work years ago, you can disable the app with adb. But they eventually reactive it, and install other crapware, so you may need to also disable the app they are using to install other stuff.
I dont know if another vendor does it. Samsung is probably the worst of them
