Just update to a new software UI 7.0. Got to spill out a lever of frustration I have over every time update comes in.
Every security updates comes with at list 3 games. What it have to do with security I do not understand.
Recent system update I absolutely hate unnecessary changes to physical appearance of details.
1. Removed the battery charge indicator LED from home screen it happen before.
2. Removed alarm from home screen.
3. Battery mark switched from usual rectangular shape to oval. Can not make them bigger or personalize
4. Take away all widgets home screen was changed for me by force.
5. the navigation of volume changes is still stupid, i had to press 2 buttons to do a screenshot.
6. I did not ask for Gemini option it was given by google and we are calling that a monopoly.
7. most important one after update battery drains like a **bleep**. I used to not recharge my phone for a 3/4/5 days now it 3 times a day.
It is no benefit for me to update any more, nothing but bad thinks happen.

Galaxy S23@ebudilovsky The games are complements of your carrier. The carriers add games or apps that they want to promote. Usually the carrier provides a method to op out.
If you purchase a unlocked device from Samsung, you won't see these being downloaded on an update.

Galaxy S23Hello ebudilovsky, Welcome to the Community. The Community is peer-to-peer support.
@LongHiker is correct regarding the installation of games with updates. You can look for an app similar to Mobile Installer or App Cloud and disabled them. (The name of the app varies with each service provider.)
For the other changes, we recommend looking at these threads:
