minus-square@RGB3x3linkEnglish22•11 months agoGod, I hate Facebook and Meta. Their preinstalled & unremovable apps are why I refuse to buy a Samsung phone and now I guess I’ll never buy a OnePlus. Don’t put garbage third-party apps on phones that people can’t remove. It’s infuriating
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•11 months agoMy GF bought Samsung phone couple of weeks ago and all the apps were removable (as in you could uninstall, not just hide). They have different version of the OS for different markets, right?
