So, starts to download apps THAT I DO NOT WANT. So, PHONE IS NOW LAGGING AND STUPID ANNOYINGLY SLOW AT THE SIMPLEST OF TASKS. THANKYOU SAMSUNG. FOR NOTHING BUT FRUSTRATION TODAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Oh, and i could not stop phone in from downloading apps that I do not want I switched off phone but yet it continues to download apps THAT I DO NOT WANT, NEVER WANTED AND ONLY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS **bleep** EHY?
Oh great, it is installing candy **bleep** crush again. I just uninstalled the peice if **bleep** and it is automatically downloading again. **bleep** THIS **bleep**
Are not these updates supposed to improve the operation of the device? Not slow it down and spam the **bleep** out of me? NO I DON'T WANT TIKTOK, NO I DON'T WANT THE OTHER **bleep** THAT UPDATE DIRECTS PHONE TO DO. **bleep** ME DEAD
My phone now lags. Is slow at responding. If I try to open an app which has been on home screen since day one, IT ASKS ME IF I WANT TO UNINSTALL IT. HOW MESSED UP IS THIS?
Hi @Youcatchaty, that's strange. Apps usually do not download themselves, are you able to check if your internet browsers have many tabs with ads open on them? It is possible accidentally bumping these ads, or clicking links with ads in them can trigger the app to be downloaded. To prevent this, I suggest going through and closing all unneeded tabs, and going into:
Settings > Apps > your browser of choice > Clear cache
Settings > Apps > your browser of choice > Clear data. Please note this will clear any saved passwords from your browser and log you out of any accounts you may be logged into with the browser.
You can also go into settings and scrolling through your app list to uninstall unwanted apps from Settings > Apps
