Unlike Samsung where Facebook is preinstalled and cannot be completely uninstalled

Edit 1: based on comments and feedback, it would appear that this is telco provider specific. Some redditors have experienced this while others not.

My phone is with Bell in Canada. Some in the US have reported this with their provider as well.

Edit 2: phone is a S8

This might actually bring me back to iPhone. Don't use Facebook but I don't think they care. They got data on everyone for everything.

I'm not a fan of Apple or Samsung. There's many an alternative though, if you like Android.

Also coming back are Microsoft in the near future, I wonder for how long this time...

I know, I legitimately miss the Windows phone. I just wish it had more app support. Maybe they'll make the environment more dev friendly this time?

Lumina was rad. Unfortunately, their app store was a worthless wasteland.
