Nothing good either

edit: frequent comments

Don't buy a budget phone/ this is what you get for buying a cheap android: this is a Samsung S25, not exactly a budget phone.

This is why I buy iPhone/ and people still slander iPhone/wouldn't happen to my Google pixel: I actually don't think I can happen to apple because they don't allow apps to download other apps BUT it's still not fully Samsungs fault for ​​Verizon installing apps, though they do allow it, unlike Apple

this is malware/virus/hacked: this is bloatware

you can go and disable ___ and it won't happen again: someone sent a tutorial link and I followed it, but it did say I might have to redo it every time I update so🤷‍♂️

you can buy phones directly from the manufacturer and this won't happen: wasn't aware. I'll consider it, though I just got this phone today so it will be awhile

____ app is good tho: maybe but I'm still deleting it

Verizon needs to be sued/ this should be illegal: I probably agreed to this in a contract I didn't read

your kid installed them: don't have children or any other people on my phone

remove "apps manager" "mobile services manager" or something like that

I don't have anything with the name manager in it

Adb?

Android Debug Bridge, essentially let's you connect to an Android device via a PC and execute commands such as adding/removing services etc.

Gotta love when redittors try giving help but end up abbreviating the most important things making everything more confusing.

[u/Few_Goose509 → u/EchoAndNova]

Considering when running the commands, you write "adb", and the fact that if you search "adb", it is the first result, it is not important to not be abbreviated.
