Why are Meta services installed as system apps on this phone?

Why is it that the meta services and apps are installed as system apps for a company that is just plain and simple  Not only the apps are installed as system apps but they also use background data by default even if you don't use any meta services and their apps. Please stop including those intrusive apps in our phone which we pay money to own. I could careless for meta and their mining services which have also proven to be insecure. I thought Samsung was all about security and privacy.

Because they are fellow data collectors lol 😂

The part is that for example I don't use meta services and apps and could careless about them. But having an apppp from a company using my phone's resources and data unless you disable it or adb uninstall is just dumb. Yes, if you use those spammy apps like FB, Whatsapp and Instagram for it but the least Samsung could do is not make them system apps. How much money is amazing getting from selling our data to meta?

Oh it goes soo much deeper lol look into pixels,beacons,AD profiling..... make you not even want any... phone

What do you mean by making them system apps? I can uninstall any Meta apps I have on my phone.

There's system apps like Meta Services that can only be disabled but not uninstalled. It's bloatware

[CrymsonDawn]

Go into each of those apps and manually disable them. It sucks that we can't remove them entirely without rooting, they really are parasites

They can be removed without rooting

Not sure if you just have a unique device or if you don't understand, these are under system apps and aren't visible until you activate that submenu in apps. There is no uninstalling them when in factory unlocked phones

adb, its that easy, I remove system apps all the time, tho its risky and I shouldn't but I do anyways
