mine had a preloaded hidden app called AppCloud that was responsible for installing tiktok on first boot (without an option to disable it, because it’s marked an “Essential” app) and kept periodically sending a notification asking me to “finish setting up the phone” by installing like 10 bloatware apps.
disabling it is three clicks though, and all bloat can be fully uninstalled.
Perhaps but the applications displayed by OP would certainly not be installed by a carrier or Samsung. I’ve seen Facebook come pre-installed and other main stream garbage but the above is something completely different.
or carrier bloatware. Samsung has it’s thingy like that (only on A series) but it installs TikTok during the setup, nothing else.
Fold 3 here. It tries to do a device cleanup periodically and will try to sneak tiktok and other shit on here.
I only had to tell my A model on first startup that I wanted none of what it was serving and it has kept its word ever since.

US carriers do regularly do shit like this.
Look at the title “Mobile Services Manager”…I suppose if you are signed up with some 3rd rate carrier and you hooked up via esim but very sketchy.
