  • When I contracted in the USA, they provided a Verizon phone. There was a system app called something like App Manager, which was a Verizon app, installed as a system app, that bloated your phone with crap like Peel Remote, NFL, Amazon, and other nonsense, all mostly also installed as system apps. Once I disabled this App Manager, this bloat shite stopped. Try looking for something installed as a system app that didn’t come directly from Google.












  • That is strange. I have a 7 Pro, and have had this for a long while (before I started seeing people post about it on Lemmy). But I also have CalyxOS, which I’m sure plays a role. I have a buddy with a 7. I’ll check their phone later today and report back. Though they usually complain about updates rebooting their phone, and they haven’t mentioned anything since they got this phone… a bit concerning lol

    Edit: so, they have it on their phone. They don’t use it, but they have it. I’m not sure why your 7 doesn’t.
