Why is Facebook a system app!?

[Mo31]

Who else agrees it's extremely stupid and manipulative of samsung to make a social media app a system app?

I'm not asking for an answer to how to remove it completely because others already wrote that, but just complaining of how f**ked it is. Especially that more than 90% of users don't know how to root their phones or whatever to remove it. Samsung, if you're reading this, f*ck you.

Hey Mo31,
Welcome to the Samsung members Canada community. As mentioned by Jayman1973, Facebook is not a default system app.
Please provide us the model number of your Samsung device and attach the screenshot by following the steps below.
Go to Settings> Apps> Select the Facebook app.

Facebook is a pre-installed app and a lot of samsung devices. That can't be unistalled.

As the screenshot, and other users commented, I can only disable it and can't uninstall it. And as others mentioned, this problem is wide spread and not just for me. Even if you were able to solve the problem for me, which would be appreciated, it won't solve the problem at all. This shouldn't be a thing for anyone, and people shouldn't have to complain and publicly comment just for it to be solved.

If you're a Pro with ADB command, maybe you can make this disappear..
I think @CHMultimedia or @Shaggyskunk1BLM should help you with this
Personnaly, like I can disable it, I don't mind anymore ...

Everytime there is software update it will come back

then repeat......

That's not a proper answer.  A social media app shouldnt be forced on users.  It is perfectly accessible via the play store or other means.   There is no rational reason to make it a system-level app, unless Samsung + Facebook have some agreement.
