How can I uninstall Samsung Free and Tips apps from my S21U? It feels like I'm buying a cheap phone with all these useless bloatware forced by Samsung.

Edit: I can't even disable them either 🖕

You can turn them off and tips isn't actually bloatware

Tips is as much bloatware as any other Samsung apps. Even iOS has a Tips app... so according to that reasoning, you're wrong about Apple, they do put bloatware on their devices. So, then, how is the Tips app(built in app from manufacturer) bloatware, but the messaging, email, health, music, calendar, calculator, etc. not bloatware? Oh, and I guess My Files, would be too...they're all built in apps like Tips. 🤔🤨🤨

In this day and technology, why they'd force "tips" as a separate apps instead infused it into the settings? It's adding more to the apps grid and worse, users can't uninstall it.

Ok, well, I have an A20 and just checked. I don't have a Tips app. The User Manual is part of the settings, which is essentially a link to a web version.

Weird why Samsung flagship phones which are mostly expensive being forced with bloatware?

You can't uninstall them (without adb) but you can turn off notifications for tips and turn off Samsung free. Would be nice to have the option to completely uninstall what we don't want though.
