    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.

        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.
