If you genuinely don't know the term to search for, it's called bloatware OP and can be removed

Presumably it is called that because it's bloat on your device but actually it's because it bloats corporate pockets with money from other corporate pockets and then asks you for $5/mo to check your voicemail

Samsung's voicemail app is stupid. It serves you ads unless you pay, and if you delete it you have to use the really old school method of calling your own phone no. to check your voicemail, no replacement generic android app. I had to get Google Voice because screw that it's 2022.

They know 99% of people won't bother rooting their phones so they just choke them full of garbage so they make some extra money off of you. Selling hardware isn't enough.

What do you mean you don't give a gently caress about Bixby and wish it burns in hell?

Disable the apps and notifications for the apps you can't fully disable. Maybe if you spent more time getting life experience instead of posting easily solved problems you'd know that.

Is this a Derpies alt account?

What the gently caress is Bixby? A button on the left side is assigned to it. It shows up asking to be updated before I immediately close it.

samsung constantly fighting with google to get you to click your samsung apps instead of your google apps. It's basically a custody battle for your data and ad viewing. Even the weather app has ads cuz lol it's free real estate.
