The device admin app has three apps listed.  Wire,  find my device and Google pay.

I do not have Google played installed on my new a50 phone.  Why is there and self activating?

How can they be removed?

That's the correct response a well trained citizen ought to give to destroy any critical conversation. Ridiculous unbelievable theories that produce auto response. Well done!

You clicked something and have set it free.
I am wondering if Find my Device is also running unwanted as it does on mine.

Google's Find My Device is not a System App - If it's on your device - You installed it from the Play Store - At least it's not on my S9+ or S10+ 🐧

Yeah i know. But i've had it removed from even showing my phone using a browser in windows- yet the device admin will be activated every single reboot. it's off in phone google settings. Off everywhere but will not stop activating in device admin section.

Well even though I want Find my Device enabled - Looks like I didn't give it Device Admin permission - It's currently Off on my device 🐧

ok. i've written about it before but i will do it again. Doing a websearch is pointless. All you get is information on how to enable and use it. Nothing except one XDA thread detailing the same problem with no solution other than root- an option Samsung does not allow Canadians on all phones anymore.
