My Galaxy s25 ultra has 485 apps installed on it and I've only had it for 3weeks? Is that normal? ๐Ÿคท

That depends on how many apps you installed. A good number of them will be system apps.

My S23U has a minimal amount of apps that I installed. Total number of apps, including system, is 489.

I keep getting locked out of my account I'm not getting notifications I keep getting put on do not disturb at night so my alarms don't go off the morning getting calls from all kinds of random numbers. Everything i try and go to support through my phone there's always an error but i can look at anything else no problem my data will get metered I stay stuck i loop, every time I try and log into some it always tells me my password is incorrect even though I know I'm putting in the right one I've tried doing so e things and it tells me I need to get with me IT administrators which doesn't make sense cause this is a personal phone that's just a few things

Also in my Google account on my devices it showed I was logged in on a Linux computer. I don't have a computer?

Does anyone else have access to your device? Do you ever leave it unattended anywhere? Do you have a security measure for your lockscreen (PIN, biometrics, etc)?

It's possible your email and/or Samsung accounts may have been compromised. You should log in to those accounts from a separate device (preferably a computer), change your passwords, and set up two-factor authentication (2FA) as soon as possible. Do the same for any financial accounts that you access with any potentially affected email address.

Log out of all accounts on your phone and re-login with the new credentials, at minimum. If it were me, I would perform a factory reset and set up everything fresh.
