Games

Dear Samsung,

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ELECTRONICS STOP ADDING GAMES AS AN UPDATE. IF I WANTED THOSE GAMES I WOULD DOWNLOAD THEM MYSELF.

Thank you

Games are not added by Samsung. These are added by your carrier.

To prevent undesirable bloat from being added to your phone in updates, it is recommended to purchase phones unlocked rather than through your carrier.

The issue im having is no matter which way or what i try , I can't install Game Booster Plus.
I've tried a few different ways to download and install this app with no success. It appears that im able to download this app but when I select "install", it shows the install wheel that it's installing but when it finishes the button to install appears again not uninstall like it should. My phone seems to be stuck in a loop of some kind. After attempting to install. I can see the app in different areas of my phone showing that it's there but not in all locations. And I can only uninstall the app in device cares ram exclusion list of apps after I add it to the list. Then and only then can I uninstall it to attempt to install it at another time which I've been unsuccessful trying to install it in different ways. Even just searching for the app in the store and I tried downloading and installing it. At one point when I attempted to install the app, my device showed that the app installed but after restarting my A15 5G, it showed what it has been showing after install, the, "install button" again. Is anyone else having this issue? And what is the remedy because I've tried all kinds of stuff trying to install this app. Thanks

Samsung doesn't bundle games with phones/updates. These likely come from your carrier.

[pcarpenter0318]

Yes, your carrier installs those for advertising purposes

Carriers put them there to offset the deal you got when you got your phone. Whether it be a heavy discount or payment plan with your device. Carriers are paid by the app developers to put those games on your phone!

If you can't completely uninstall carrier bloatware... er, "featured apps", you should be able to disable them. They won't show up in your app drawer and won't use any resources.

Would anyone happen to have a list of the bloat ware apps that we don't need bad that we can just uninstall or disable? I really don't want them on my phone for many reason really but they are annoying. Thanks

If you don't use an app, get rid of it. Your device won't allow you to uninstall/disable anything crucial.
